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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

Join me this week for a lively conversation with Lindsay and Aspen as we discuss Chinese Medicine, counseling, spirituality, friendship, connection, and the ecology of health and wellness in all its facets. This is a great podcast that has something for everyone. I'll get back to NVC and parenting next week or so.

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.

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.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Love Each Other Better podcast, I sit down with Jen Lumanlan, host of the Your Parenting Mojo podcast and author of Parenting Beyond Power: How to Use Connection & Collaboration to Transform Your Family and the World. Join us for an introduction to how white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism shape family dynamics and influence parenting approaches, and how to shift out of traditional power dynamics to make family life easier and more connecting. Jen shares powerful insights and practical tools to help parents navigate conflicts and create family environments where everyone's needs—parents' and children's alike—are honored. From addressing the micro moments where resistance in children shows up to exploring deep concepts like white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism and how they intersect in our families, this episode offers a roadmap for transforming family relationships and beyond. Whether you're a parent seeking to navigate the pressures of modern life or someone looking to create a more just and collaborative family dynamic, this episode is packed with inspiration and actionable strategies. Tune in and start building a family culture rooted in equality, trust, and compassion today.   About Jen Lumanlan JEN LUMANLAN, MS, MEd, (she/her) hosts the Your Parenting Mojo podcast, which was named Best Research-Based Parenting Podcast by Lifehacker and has been downloaded almost 4 million times.

In this episode, we explore the four ways to hear a negative message using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) concepts. When faced with criticism or negative feedback, our initial reactions often fall into one of two patterns: blaming ourselves or others. Self-blame can lead to feelings of shame and unworthiness, while blaming others typically escalates anger and conflict. NVC offers two more constructive approaches. The third way involves sensing our own feelings and needs, allowing us to maintain self-empathy and emotional balance by focusing on our internal responses to the message. The fourth approach is to sense the feelings and needs of others, listening empathetically to understand the speaker's underlying emotions and unmet needs. This method facilitates compassionate communication and conflict resolution. By moving beyond blame and judgment, NVC emphasizes self-awareness and empathy. It promotes more effective communication and transforms negative messages into opportunities for growth and connection. In our next episode, we'll explore practical exercises for applying these NVC concepts in everyday situations. NVC Process Four choices when hearing a difficult message

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is like a bridge that helps us connect on a deeper level with ourselves and each other. Imagine having a toolbox that allows you to express what you're feeling and to really hear what others are saying. When we practice NVC, we start by tuning into our emotions and needs. This means we become more aware of what's happening inside us—what triggers us, makes us happy, or frustrates us. By understanding ourselves better, we can communicate more honestly and authentically. It's about speaking from the heart instead of just reacting without thinking. Then comes the listening part, which is just as important. NVC encourages us to understand where others are coming from. Instead of jumping to conclusions or getting defensive, we learn to listen empathetically. We ask questions that show we care about their feelings and needs, which creates a safe space for open dialogue. This connection isn't just about solving conflicts; it's about recognizing that we all have similar feelings and needs—love, safety, respect, and understanding. When we see each other through this lens, treating one another with kindness and compassion becomes easier. So, in a nutshell, Nonviolent Communication helps us tap into our humanity by fostering genuine connections. It encourages us to share our truths and listen to others in a way that builds empathy, reduces misunderstandings, and strengthens our relationships. It reminds us that, underneath it all, we're all just trying to navigate this world together.

In this episode, we'll explore the foundational principles of NVC, including the profound understanding that all behaviors are attempts to meet needs. Mike Tinoco shares powerful real-life examples from his teaching career and personal journey, shedding light on how recognizing and addressing unmet needs can reshape interactions and build stronger, more empathetic communities. We'll also discuss the significant role of self-reflection and emotional awareness in understanding one's needs and emotions. Roberto and Mike will delve into their personal experiences, touching on themes like identity, belonging, and the importance of reclaiming personal stories to reshape identity and culture. Additionally, Mike will unpack key concepts from his acclaimed book, "Heart at the Center: An Educator's Guide to Sustaining Love, Hope, and Community through Nonviolent Pedagogy." From creating safe and affirming spaces to practicing self-empathy, this conversation is packed with insights to help educators and community builders engage more empathetically and constructively.

Nonviolent Communication is a robust framework developed by Marshall Rosenberg that focuses on empathy and compassion in communication. A key aspect of NVC is building awareness of one's needs and wants and those of others. Here are several steps to enhance this awareness: Self-Observation: Begin by observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Recognize what triggers your emotions and consider how these relate to your needs. Identify Needs: Reflect on universal human needs (such as safety, connection, and autonomy). Identify which of these needs are not being met when you experience certain feelings. Express Feelings: Learn to articulate your feelings honestly and clearly. Use “I feel” statements to convey your emotions, linking them directly to your unmet needs. Request Clarity: Once you understand your own needs and feelings, strive to communicate this to others. Make specific, actionable requests instead of vague statements. For example, instead of saying, “I need help,” specify, “Would you be willing to help me with this task?” Practice Empathy: When engaging with others, strive to listen actively. Acknowledge their feelings and needs, which can help create a safe space for open communication. Through these steps, individuals can build awareness of needs and wants, foster healthier relationships, communicate more effectively, reduce conflict, and promote understanding.

Thom and his colleague, Dr. Clara Moisello talk about how needs awareness effects how we take care of ourselves (or don't).Support the show

In Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the "Jackal" represents a communication style that is often aggressive and judgmental and tends to reflect a mindset focused on blame, criticism, or demands. Here are some key characteristics of the Jackal mode of communication: Judgment: Jackal communication often involves labeling people, actions, or thoughts as good or bad, right or wrong. This creates a sense of separation and defensiveness. Blame: The Jackal tends to assign responsibility to others for feelings or situations, often leading to conflict and resentment. It focuses on finding fault rather than understanding. Criticism: Jackal communication typically involves expressing disapproval or dissatisfaction in a hurtful or dismissive way, which can discourage open dialogue. Demands: Jackal communication often involves making demands rather than requests, creating feelings of fear or obligation rather than fostering a collaborative atmosphere. Generalizations : Making broad statements about people's actions or character can oversimplify complex situations and lead to misunderstandings. Emotional Disconnection: Jackal communication often lacks empathy, leading to emotional distance and a lack of connection with others' feelings and needs. In contrast, the "Giraffe" symbolizes a more compassionate form of communication in NVC. It focuses on expressing feelings and needs while fostering understanding and connection. NVC aims to shift from Jackal to Giraffe communication for healthier and more constructive interactions.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Colombia Calling – I'm Emily Hart and this week we have something a little bit different – the radical linguistic technique which is building peace - personal and political - all over the world, and the inspiring woman bringing it to Colombia.    This week, I have with me Camila Reyes Azcuénaga – the founder of Resuena, the organisation bringing the school of thought known as ‘Nonviolent Communication' (NVC) to Colombia, a way of structuring our thoughts and communications to prevent and heal conflict, breaching the divides of culture, politics, and identity.    Developed in the late 20th Century by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, NVC now has trainers and centres in more than 60 countries around the world. This simple technique aims to humanise the ‘other', and forge communication, collaboration, and trust – from our daily life, to our work, and well beyond.    Camila studied law and political science and worked with indigenous communities and landmines here in Colombia, but felt the country needed a more fundamental change than she could achieve with that work. She left Colombia in search of something which would shift the paradigm of violence and conflict entirely.    After stumbling across Nonviolent Communication training during Occupy Wall Street, she felt she'd found what she was looking for – she spent years training and finally returned to Colombia, founding Resuena in 2011, running free workshops for years.   Resuena has now trained thousands, from institutions like the United Nations, the Truth Commission, and the Search Unit for Missing Persons, to grassroots social leaders in conflict-stricken areas of Colombia's South-west. The group helps people to navigate interpersonal relationships and conflicts, as well as maintain cohesion within movements and groups.    Through guided discussions, participants are trained to identify the patterns of behaviour that divide them and weaken their collective campaigns and processes, and then to replace them with a focus on acting from common ground. This year, Resuena also launched the ‘Sowers of Nonviolent Communication' network – so that trainees can go into their own communities and pass on the training.    So today, Camila is going to give us a masterclass in these techniques and their underlying ideas, talking us through the four steps – observation, feeling, need, and request – along with some everyday examples. She'll then tell us about her amazing work in some of Colombia's most difficult contexts, and why this work is so necessary not just for the country – but for all of us.

Today, I'm excited to share my conversation with Ali Miller on how nonviolent communication (NVC) can help navigate co-parenting dynamics and couple relationships. When raising a neurodivergent child, there are often many opportunities for parents to disagree—whether it's about the therapies to explore, whether or not to disclose a diagnosis to family members, or even if a diagnosis exists at all. These discussions can be tough and can definitely place a strain on the relationship. But with nonviolent communication, we can learn how to have conversations that feel like a win-win for everyone involved. Ali Miller is an expert in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and has been a marriage and family therapist for over twenty years. In 2021, she became certified as a Clini-Coach® specializing in couples communication. As an online coach, she helps couples worldwide improve their communication and conflict resolution skills, allowing them to experience more peace, passion, and possibilities in their relationships. In this conversation, Ali and I discussed what NVC is and why it's a comprehensive model that supports all kinds of relationships. We explored how understanding our feelings—and more importantly, the underlying needs behind them—is crucial for effective communication. Ali also emphasized the importance of empathy and self-empathy in the NVC model, and shared how to express our needs to our partners without blame or judgment (while also acknowledging that this doesn't absolve our partner of responsibility). This conversation truly highlights how NVC can transform conflict into connection by fostering empathy and understanding between partners.

We take you on a journey through the concept of taking responsibility for your feelings, as outlined in NVC. We'll walk you through the three stages of emotional development—starting with "emotional slavery," where you might feel burdened by others' emotions. Then, we'll dive into the "obnoxious stage," where you start to push back, and finally reach "emotional liberation," where you learn to fully own your feelings without putting that weight on others. By sharing our personal experiences, we aim to help you better understand how these stages play out in real life and highlight the importance of recognizing your needs and practicing empathy in your relationships.

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler delves into the profound relationship between yoga and emotional intelligence, exploring how ancient wisdom and modern techniques can help us navigate our emotions and improve our interactions with others. This episode covers key concepts from the pancha maya model in the Upanisads, Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Kristin Neff's principles of self-compassion. Amy provides a comprehensive look at emotional intelligence, its benefits, and common misconceptions.Key Concepts and Highlights1. Understanding Emotional Intelligence:Emotional intelligence involves recognizing, understanding, and managing our own emotions and the emotions of others. It encompasses self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills.Emotional intelligence is crucial for personal and professional success, fostering better relationships, decision-making, and overall well-being.2. The Pancha Maya Model and the Vijnanamaya Layer:The pancha maya model from the Upanisads outlines five layers of personality: annamaya (physical body), pranamaya (energy body), manomaya (mental body), vijnanamaya (wisdom body), and anandamaya (bliss body).The vijnanamaya kosha, or wisdom layer, plays a pivotal role in emotional intelligence. It involves higher cognitive functions such as wisdom, perception, and communication style.By cultivating the vijnanamaya kosha through yoga practices, we can enhance our ability to perceive and respond to our emotions wisely and effectively.3. Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC):NVC is a powerful tool for developing emotional intelligence, focusing on empathetic and compassionate communication.The four steps of NVC are:Observation: Clearly and objectively describing what is happening without judgment.Feelings: Identifying and expressing emotions related to the observation.Needs: Recognizing the underlying needs driving the emotions.Request: Making a specific, actionable request to address the unmet needs.4. Kristin Neff's Three Steps to Self-Compassion:Self-compassion is essential for emotional intelligence, allowing us to be kind to ourselves and manage our emotions healthily.The three steps to cultivating self-compassion are:Self-Kindness: Treating oneself with understanding and warmth rather than harsh judgment.Common Humanity: Recognizing that suffering and challenges are a shared human experience.Mindfulness: Maintaining a balanced awareness of our emotions without suppressing or exaggerating them.5.

Hey everybody! Episode 137 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Marta Fabregat. Marta was recommended to me by a mutual friend, Cathy Coyle. Marta is one of Cathy's teachers and I trust Cathy's recommendations so I was sure Marta would have a lot to share, and she did. We spoke about Marta's background, her working in Ecuador with Huachuma, her past with activism, how that lead her to Ireland, and how she now bridges multiple approaches including somatics into plant medicine work. We spoke about her work with trees and learning directly from them via the dieta, and this was very fascinating to me as its very similar work to what I do. I was really impressed by Marta's knowledge and presence and I think you all will gain a lot out of this episode.

This episode is a bit different from my usual focus on romantic relationships, as I dive into the parent-child dynamic. While today's discussion is tailored for parents, the principles I'll explore are just as applicable to your relationship with your partner or anyone you spend time with, making this episode valuable for everyone. As a mom to a four-year-old, parenting has become a central part of my life, prompting me to seek out resources and support that align with my values. After attending a recent parenting summit, I felt compelled to share insights on enhancing our relationships with our children through the lens of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). In this episode, we'll delve into the essence of NVC that has become my anchor in parenting: collaborative problem-solving. We'll discuss how collaboration, rooted in the core NVC principle that everyone's needs matter, can transform our decision-making processes and strengthen our bonds with our kids. By prioritizing a collaborative mindset, we can move away from the traditional "power-over" mode and create an environment where our children's voices are heard and valued. Whether you're navigating everyday decisions like what to eat for a snack or more significant choices like schooling options, embracing collaboration can help ensure that all needs are considered. I'll share personal stories and practical strategies on how to slow down, lean into moments of disagreement, and foster a family dynamic where everyone's needs are honored. Join me as to explore how this approach not only empowers our children but also lays the foundation for healthier, more connected relationships across the board. Even if you don't have kids, the principles I discuss will resonate with anyone looking to improve their communication and relationship skills. Tune in to discover how embracing a collaborative mindset can help us all love each other better.
