Nonviolent communication and the naming of feelings: a contradiction in terms?

This session will focus on Step 3 of the Nonviolent Communication process: Identifying and Expressing Feelings (Chapter 4 of Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg). Specifically, we will explore the challenges involved in recognising our own feelings, naming them accurately, and communicating them to others. We will discuss current categorisations of emotions and consider whether these taxonomies still adequately serve our needs.
