Mastering Communication

Lesson 4. Needs


Listen Later

You’ll learn about the fundamental universal needs, and how to identify them in your day-to-day.

In this lesson, Newt will explain in-depth the third component of NVC: Needs. You will learn to identify the universal needs that drive your behavior and that give meaning to your life. And to connect with others by the needs you share. 

Here are the topics covered in this lesson:

  • The difference between a need, and a strategy to fulfill that need.
  • How conflict occurs in the level of strategies, and not in the level of needs.
  • Being aware of your own needs, and avoid disconnection by imposing change in others.
  • Strategies: finding ways to meet your needs while considering the needs of others.
  • Example: the couple, Alex and Chris, talk about their different needs.
