I went on a trip to Europe the day after you posted, and did not manage to include responding to you in my intensive schedule for that trip…<br /><br />Your question provides me with one more opportunity to attempt to address what I see as a common misconception regarding NVC.

I have just found out about NVC, and it was actually because I was looking for approaches to ending a very taxing friendship that I no longer had the energy to sustain. Learning this vocabulary has been immensely helpful to me in being able to understand and articulate the needs driving me to this point, i.e., self-protection, self-care, respect, mutuality etc. I very Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-58060659630888235092012-10-29T08:02:47.078-07:002012-10-29T08:02:47.078-07:00Hey Miki,

You may need support from others to make full contact with the mourning over choices you or others made, so you can let your heart rest in full.
