The Language of Feelings & Needs (From Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication/NVC) ❦ Talk #26

START HERE: https://mussar.center If you didn't know what you were feeling and needing you would literally die. For instance, how long would you last if you couldn't brain "I feel thirsty, I need water"? Our whole lives consist of doing things to feel certain ways and meet specific needs. That's why Marshall Rosenberg called the simple act of trying to understand each other's feelings and needs 'the language of life' and put it at the heart of Nonviolent Communication - because it's the best way of compassionately connecting with someone and showing that you really understand them. This is our third conversation about how to 'be mochiach'. I hope it will also be your first step on the lifelong path of the empath. ❦
