In Sanity: A piece of mind

Episode 199 - The Jackal: A Life Alienating System


Listen Later

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Criticism: Jackal communication typically involves expressing disapproval or dissatisfaction in a hurtful or dismissive way, which can discourage open dialogue.

  4. Demands: Jackal communication often involves making demands rather than requests, creating feelings of fear or obligation rather than fostering a collaborative atmosphere.

  5. Generalizations : Making broad statements about people’s actions or character can oversimplify complex situations and lead to misunderstandings.

  6. Emotional Disconnection: Jackal communication often lacks empathy, leading to emotional distance and a lack of connection with others’ feelings and needs.

  7. 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.
