Keep your NVC fit - Self Empathy

About this session's practice - self empathy
We will use the 4 steps of empathy practice, which you can recap here.

Please come with a situation of trigger which is around 1-5 on the scale from 1-10 that you want to focus on in breakout spaces. It can be very helpful to practice this with a low intensity trigger. There is often huge amounts of learning there. You will not need to describe the trigger beyond a one or two sentence description, just your judgements of the other, of yourself, your body sensations and guess feelings and needs. It's actually a useful skill to step out of the narratives about the situation and into embodied processing of it.

There will be more Joining Instructions when you register.

This is a monthly series to practice 3 core NVC practices

• 4 steps of Self-Empathy
• Empathic Listening
• Role Plays of Difficult Conversations

We meet once a month at 11am and 7pm UK time. I hope these times work for you.

Practical and Logistics

These practice sessions aren’t refundable or transferable, except in exceptional circumstances.

This is open to people who have done a Foundation training or Intro to NVC. This is not a complete beginners class, although relative beginners (post foundation) are welcome.

Disclaimer / Self Check
Nonviolent Communication is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy. This practice session may not be for you:

• If you have a sense that what you want to explore might be challenging for others,
• if it would be triggering to listen to others speaking about difficult events,
• if other people’s beginner-intermediate level learning of NVC might land awkwardly for you.

If you have any questions, please ask.
