Great episode. I really enjoyed hearing nostr:npub1jfn4ghffz7uq7urllk6y4rle0yvz26800w4qfmn4dv0sr48rdz9qyzt047 discuss NVC (non-violent communication).
When my daughter was a toddler, we did an NVC course. I left with two strong feelings:
1) NVC is extremely important
2) Without inner transformation, NVC can be manipulative
Later, when I joined a Quaker meeting, I found folks who embodied NVC without sounding like it. They'd done the inner work. NVC was more than just a means to an end. A lot of listening and deep concern for speaking Truth to/with others in a compassionate way.
Thanks nostr:npub14kw5ygpl6fyqagh9cnrytyaqyacg46lzkq42vz7hk8txdk49kzxs04j7y0 !
(One of my NVC classmates shared that their workplace implemented NVC training for all staff. Surprisingly, he described it as the most toxic environment he'd ever experienced, rife with passive-aggressiveness.
I've noticed a similar pattern when encountering NVC language from those deeply immersed in woke politics. No inner work. Just another way to get what you want.)
