Conversations from the Heart

#46 - How can I use NVC to smooth out tension with my adult daughter?


Listen Later

It's only human to want the traditional NVC formula to solve all our connection problems.

However, what the traditional observation, feelings, needs and request paradigm often does best is help us sort our own stuff out internally, first.  After we use it to get our own stuff straight, then we can experiment with the best way to connect with those around us.

Want to experience this with a real life example?  Here's what we discuss on this week's episode:

  • 3:31  When identifying feelings and needs is internal - not external - work
  • 9:37  Getting wrongness out of the picture
  • 13:40  A script for moving forward
