BONUS: NVC, Walking Towards Conflict with Love With Maria Arpa and Bob Marshall In this BONUS episode, we explore Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a powerful tool that has changed how many people work and relate to family, friends, and colleagues. Maria Arpa, a previous guest on the podcast, and who studied directly under Marshall Rosenberg, the creator of NVC, shares her insights on this transformative practice. Joining us is Bob Marshall, an NVC advocate and practitioner who applies these principles in organizational settings. Understanding the Foundation of Nonviolent Communication "We have universal needs... what we try to distinguish is the need and the strategy I'm using to meet the need." Nonviolent Communication is both a practical communication tool and a spiritual practice designed to help us connect more authentically with ourselves and others. Maria explains how NVC emerged from the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, who studied under Carl Rogers, the developer of person-centered therapy. At its core, NVC represents a paradigm shift away from what Maria calls "domination culture" – a system built on hierarchy, punishment, and obedience to rules. The dominant culture in which we live often relies on fear, guilt, and shame to motivate behavior. In contrast, NVC comes from the philosophy of nonviolence, encouraging people to be independent thinkers who make choices from their own internal compass. This approach recognizes that all people have the potential to manifest love, even in challenging situations. The Power of Needs-Based Theory "If I take a need for fairness or respect... how many ways are there to meet that need? And what if you believe you're meeting your need for fairness using whatever strategy you're using, and I believe that is impacting on my need for respect? We have a collision in strategies." A fundamental aspect of NVC is needs-based theory. Maria explains that while we all share universal needs – from basic physical requirements like air and food to psychological needs like creativity, recognition, and fairness – conflicts arise not from the needs themselves but from the strategies we use to meet those needs. This distinction between needs and strategies offers a powerful framework for resolving conflicts. When we understand that we're arguing over strategies, not the underlying needs, we can empathize with each other and explore different approaches that honor everyone's needs. As Maria advises, "Don't try to strategize until you understand all the needs on the table." Breaking Free from the Debate Model "The debate model of conversation is about one argument prevailing over all others... it's a terrible idea for when we want to meet as humans and have a conversation." Maria highlights how our society has embraced the debate model of conversation, where one perspective must win over others. This approach, while potentially useful in controlled settings like scientific research, creates significant problems in human interactions. When operating in debate mode, we're focused on overpowering others or protecting ourselves from humiliation rather than genuinely connecting. The dialogue roadmap that Maria developed offers an alternative to this debate model. It allows people to express themselves fully – to "empty out" everything they're carrying, even if it doesn't initially make coherent sense. This process helps people make sense of their experiences and move toward authentic dialogue rather than competitive debate. NVC in Organizations: Addressing Collective Needs "Needs are getting ignored in most organizations... it's not that we have shared needs and we debate about the strategies for getting those needs met." Bob Marshall, an organizational psychotherapist, explains how NVC principles can transform workplace dynamics. He observes that many organizations operate through "fear, obligation, guilt, and shame" – what he calls "the four horsemen of the work apocalypse." These mechanisms are used to control behavior but create toxic environments that diminish both productivity and well-being. By applying NVC in organizational settings, Bob helps collective entities recognize and address their needs. Many companies are unaware of their collective needs, and some cultures even shame people for acknowledging needs exist. Helping organizations understand their shared needs creates a foundation for healthier, more productive workplaces where people can thrive rather than merely survive. In this segment, we refer to an episode with Michelle Pauk, where we explore the lessons from Foucault's Book Discipline and Punish, and to Manfred Max-Neef, a Chilean economist. The Connection Before Correction Principle "One of the most wonderful things is connection before correction." Maria emphasizes the importance of building relationships before attempting to change behaviors or address problems. She suggests that our fast-paced world has created a situation where our emotional processing cannot keep up with the speed of our actions and decisions. We've become skilled at multitasking and meeting deadlines but haven't paid adequate attention to our emotional needs. The result is that many people are emotionally "backed up" or "constipated" – unable to process their feelings in healthy ways. Maria's work involves slowing things down to create space for authentic connection and emotional integration. This approach doesn't sacrifice efficiency – as she notes, "We get more done with less resource once we've been through the tunnel." Learning Directly from Marshall Rosenberg "Marshall Rosenberg said, 'The people that are going to take this forward will have the right balance of compassionate understanding and political savvy.' And I just went, 'That's me.'" Maria shares her personal journey with NVC, beginning with a chance encounter at her son's school that led her to attend a presentation by Marshall Rosenberg. She was immediately captivated by his approach, which answered questions she had been unable to resolve through other therapies and educational frameworks. Her pivotal experience came in 2005 when she joined Rosenberg and others for a 15-day intensive in Switzerland focused on social change. This immersive experience transformed her understanding of communication and human connection. When she asked Rosenberg who would carry his work forward, his answer about needing both "compassionate understanding and political savvy" resonated deeply with her, setting her on a path to develop her own applications of NVC principles. In this segment, we refer to the book The Surprising Purpose of Anger by Marshall Rosenberg. About Maria Arpa and Bob Marshall Maria Arpa is a facilitator, mediator, and trainer who describes her work as "walking towards conflict with love." She developed the Dialogue Road Map, a framework that builds on NVC principles to guide people out of debate-style conversations into authentic dialogue. Maria studied directly under Dr. Marshall Rosenberg and has applied NVC in various challenging contexts, including working with gang violence and facilitating dialogue between concentration camp survivors and a business that had purchased a former concentration camp site. You can link with Maria Arpa on LinkedIn and follow Maria's work on her website. Bob Marshall is an organizational psychotherapist who works with the collective psyche of organizations. He has been studying and practicing NVC for over 15 years, incorporating it into his work helping organizations understand and meet their collective needs. Bob believes in creating more joyful work environments and has dedicated his career to helping people have more pleasant experiences in the workplace. Bob Marshall is the author of several books on organizational psychotherapy. You can link with Bob Marshall on LinkedIn and follow Bob Marshall's blog.

Four years ago, I read a book called "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie and learned about a process called The Work, which became a catalyst for my homecoming journey. This process gifted me with what I call "the poetry of truth"—so deeply meaningful, liberating, and full of joy. As part of that process, I met an incredible woman, Evie, today's guest! Evie sat with me for many hours, doing The Work and holding the space to awaken to the truth beneath stories, beyond fear and fantasy...I am deeply excited to share our story, her story and the gifts of The work with all of you today! The Soft Rebellion is she who knows (and practices!) the power of inquiry and meets what she is yearning for - divine intelligence and unconditional love. Evie Karen Gibbens is a certified facilitator and trainer of The Work of Byron Katie and a kundalini yoga teacher. With a deep passion for inquiry, she guides individuals through self-inquiry processes to uncover clarity, peace, and radical innocence. Her work integrates influences from A Course in Miracles, A Course of Love, Nonviolent Communication, and other transformational teachings. She offers courses and workshops, including Radical Innocence and Working With Feedback, to help people meet life's challenges with openness and self-compassion.In this episode we talked about:- Evie's story and how she discovered The Work. Evie shares how this process has changed her life, as she learns to love what is, being invited to see through veils of illusion and tapping into inner wisdom beyond stories and fears—a deeply transformative journey of remembering the wholeness she has always been.- We explored why and how The Work gives us the tools to open our minds and set ourselves free—a process of liberation, meeting the freedom to love.- Evie explained the steps of this simple, yet deeply profound process, which is accessible to all of us, always. The Work is a meditative process, designed to identify and question what you think. It's a way of getting intimate with your own thoughts.- We did The Work! In order for you to see (and feel!) how doing the work looks, Evie guided me through the process of inquiry with a stressful thought I experienced recently.Enjoy!Receive my free mini course: From body shame and disconnect to joy and into the fullness of your creative power: - www.flurinathali.com/ ---The Soft Rebellion Podcast is created and hosted by Flurina Dominique Thali.

Micah Salaberrios is an expert in the field of Nonviolent Communication and has been teaching since 2016. He wrote the bestselling book "The Art of Nonviolent Communication", and hosts a popular podcast, "The Art of NVC", with over 70,000 downloads. In this conversation, Nate and Micah discuss the practical application of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in real-life situations. Micah shares examples of how to use emergency empathy to de-escalate heated moments and identify underlying needs. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the need for practice and flexibility in using NVC and the importance of using it in your natural voice.Micah SalaberriosWebsite, Podcast & Practice Group: The Art of NVCMicah's belief in the transformative power of NVC has been the driving force behind his work, helping people to resolve conflicts peacefully and fostering deeper understanding in their relationships. About the Host:Nate Guadagni is an NVC based Life Coach with over 15 years of experience in coaching and group facilitation. He is also a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Qigong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ teacher, the founder of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bo Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an accessible yoga system and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Balance for Life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a senior fitness program. Tools discussed in this episode:1) ⁠⁠DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the NVC Template Pack here:• The Magic Formula - 4 Step NVC Process• List of Basic Needs We All Have• Feelings When Your Needs Are Not Satisfied• Feelings When Your Needs Are SatisfiedAdditional Resources:Language of Life Community - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Weekly Group Classes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Templates, Coaching, & Resources: ⁠⁠⁠Language of Life Website⁠⁠⁠NVC Teaching Videos - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply to be a guest on the Podcast - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free NVC Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Books and Trainings - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CNVC Official Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Key Points: Micah Salaberrios wrote 'The Arts of Nonviolent Communication' to complement Marshall Rosenberg's original book on Nonviolent Communication (NVC). The language and approach of NVC need to be updated to fit the current times and the way we communicate. Sounding natural and authentic is crucial when using NVC to avoid sounding formulaic or robotic. Emergency empathy is a powerful tool in resolving conflicts, as it allows us to identify how someone feels and why without blaming or judging them. Practicing NVC involves thinking about possible feelings and needs in difficult conversations and going deeper to uncover the core issues. NVC can turn conflict into connection and lead to a deeper sense of understanding and empathy. Using emergency empathy can help de-escalate conflicts and create a sense of calm in heated moments. Connecting feelings to needs can provide clarity and understanding in emotional situations. NVC tools can be helpful in navigating power struggles and resolving conflicts in relationships. NVC is a lifelong practice that can lead to deeper connections and more effective communication.Sound Bites "The Arts of Nonviolent Communication: A Complement to Marshall Rosenberg's Book" "Emergency empathy is just guessing or asking how someone feels and why they feel that way." "NVC can turn conflict into connection and lead to a deeper sense of understanding and empathy." "Let me just multiple choice here. I'm feeling this. Which one are you feeling?" "If I'm feeling something, it's because a need is being satisfied or not satisfied in this moment." "Just the sensory somatic feeling in the body is the first level of just accepting, honoring it, understanding, and then the intellectual understanding will come out."

Blimie discusses how her approach—grounded in empathy and nonviolent communication—differs from traditional, punitive methods and formal therapy, drawing on her own experiences of growing up in a strict environment. She advocates for a collaborative, nurturing model that respects each child's unique emotional needs and promotes self-awareness in parents.Blimie also reflects on her spiritual journey, exploring the complexities of Jewish identity and the balance between certainty and doubt in faith. She explains how integrating nonviolent communication into her spiritual practice has deepened her connections and enriched her understanding of both parenting and personal growth, ultimately encouraging a more compassionate approach to life.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with BlimieWebsite | https://www.blimieheller.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/unconditional_parenting/?hl=en-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with Eli Website | https://bit.ly/eliyahunashInstagram | https://bit.ly/eliyahu_nashFacebook | http://bit.ly/3h3rFSrYouTube | https://youtube.com/@insearchofmore-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subscribe to the In Search of More Podcast: www.youtube.com/@InSearchOfMore?sub_confirmation=1For booking inquiries, email: booking@insearchofmorepodcast.comJoin Our WhatsApp: https://wa.me/message/PBH5QDJQNQ5LJ1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow us on social mediaFacebook | http://bit.ly/3jr9eYTInstagram | http://bit.ly/3JsvU5ITikTok | http://bit.ly/3XZ60LoTwitter | http://bit.ly/3XNgxsR

Did you know that until you are truly compassionate to yourself, you can’t be compassionate to any other person?In Episode #192 of The Gathering Room, I’m talking about building compassionate communities—and how a safe, loving, mutually supportive community is probably the most important thing we can ever have, especially during chaotic times.I’ve been reading my way through all the skills that make you a good community creator, and one of my favorites is the book Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, who talks about creating community by first becoming your own good company. We have such an individualistic, fragmenting society where we’re always pitted against each other in competition, but we long to experience moments of beautiful company where everyone feels lifted by everyone else. This kind of community is a basic human need.Marshall Rosenberg says that everything we do is trying to meet our basic needs, and we go off course by trying to meet our needs with things that don’t work. He describes bringing ourselves into that sense of loving community by following a few basic steps: * Identify any “mistakes” or behaviors you’re upset with yourself about.* Notice any shaming language you use around those behaviors (words like “should”). * Understand the need you were trying to meet with those behaviors.* Allow yourself to mourn the fact that what you tried didn’t work.Then, if you can empathize with the part of yourself that was trying to get a need met in an ill-advised way, there’s a kind of embrace that happens automatically—and in that embrace is forgiveness. That’s when, within yourself, you have all of your parts, including what I call the “compassionate witness.” There are all the parts who’ve been trying so hard, and everyone is empathizing with everyone else. There is mutual forgiveness for everything you ever thought you did wrong, and no one is being blamed. That’s the way into being your own best company. And from there on, Marshall Rosenberg tells us, everything is play.To find out more about forgiving yourself, becoming your own best company, and creating supportive, compassionate communities, tune in for the full episode. I’ll also guide you through my Space, Silence, and Stillness meditation with a special focus on bringing your inner collective into loving harmony. Join me!

When we tell someone how we feel, we expect to feel understood, don't we? But as Ranjitha Jeurkar will tell you - it's often not that simple. Empathy can be a complex tapestry: there's needs to be met, paradigms at play, forefeelings that can stir confusion, and words that can all too easily get lost, heated, or misinterpreted.So how do we make sense of it all? How do we speak a language that we can all understand, that connects us, and makes us feel seen?Ranjitha joins me this week to introduce us to the life-changing world of Nonviolent Communication. More than just words, this is a journey into self-discovery and empathy, and a toolkit for how to have more connected relationships in our lives. Find out about:What non-violent communication (NVC) is and how to practice itHow NVC facilitates deeper connection, empathy and psychological safetyThe misconceptions of internal feelings vs external evaluationsThe importance of language, embodiment and energy in expressing needsHow to engage in judgement-free, meaningful, emotional dialogueLinks:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Connect to Ranjitha Jeurkar:Email: connextcoaching@gmail.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ranjithajeurkar/Newsletter: https://connextcoaching.beehiiv.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/connextcoachingYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@connextcoachingWebsite: https://connextcoaching.com/Support the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.

Renée continues last week's series of episodes from Italy in trademark style: unplanned, unedited, and with a lot of words. This week, she talks about being a gluten-free vegan in the land of pizza and pasta before answering a few particularly interesting listener questions. Topics include why so many married couples are breaking up, how to tell your partner you're upset without causing a fight, and the best ways to intervene on panic and anxiety attacks. Plus, there's a bonus section at the very end that was recorded only moments before the episode aired in which Renée serves a little extra honesty. From her makeshift studio in Messina, Italy, Renée closes out the year with some hardcore content and some softcore ramblings. There's a little something for everyone: Happy Holidays!Support the show

This week's episode reviews NVC principles and provides a handful of examples to use in your interactions with others. I tried to make them as realistic as possible. I hope they are helpful. Let me know how NVC is going for you.

I love this episode with Caitlyn Jaspers, who has been doing mentoring with me for the last 4 months. This episode includes both her practice of Aware Parenting, and also The Marion Method and Nonviolent Communication. Caitlyn starts off sharing her journey with Aware Parenting, which started when her 4-month-old son was waking very frequently. Once she started practicing Aware Parenting, his sleep shifted. However, she then saw how much of an effect her own inner work, including her exploration of her control patterns, her willingness to have her needs met, and her having her feelings heard, affected her son's ability to freely express his emotions. I love how clearly Caitlyn shares the direct and tangible effects of doing her own de-conditioning so she has been more and more willing to have her own needs met. I'm so grateful to Caitlyn for sharing her experience of how powerful we are as mothers, and what a difference we can make to our children's experiences and willingness to express their healing-feelings to us.

In this podcast episode, we explore the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and their application to parenting, drawing from Inbal Kashtan's work. We discuss how NVC can help parents create deeper connections with their children by emphasizing empathy, compassion, and clear communication. The episode examines ways to move beyond traditional reward and punishment systems, instead emphasizing understanding children's needs and feelings. We look at practical strategies for expressing ourselves honestly while remaining open to our children's perspectives. The podcast also touches on the importance of self-empathy for parents and how this can positively impact family dynamics. Listeners will gain insights into fostering a home environment where everyone's needs are valued and conflicts are approached as opportunities for growth and understanding.
