I'm about ready to give up since I seem to consistently be having the opposite effect of what I intended. <br /><br />I always assumed that eventually (like learning any other language) I would get to a point of fluency that would allow me to truly connect with others.

I focus directly on the consciousness shift and on practices that directly address that. I rarely touch on the template itself in anything that I teach or write about.<br /><br />I still believe that, viewed from this angle, there can be immense value for the practice - if it's Miki Kashtanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00907977416574801559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-79094921217909520862012-06-18T08:04:23.308-07:002012-06-18T08:04:23.308-07:00I’m really happy to read this post.

NVC has been an amazing part of my life for 10 years. However, I also hear many people being turned off by NVC and stopping learning after a few sessions or not even starting. I hear reservations about stilted language and “giraffe police”. It is also my experience Jean Meierhttp://creativelearningassociates.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-3891171171832274942012-06-17T02:35:14.836-07:002012-06-17T02:35:14.836-07:00Thank you SO much.

I think it will really contribute to our competence and authenticity whilst we learn and practice NVC.<br /><br />much love,<br />JulieJulie Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473867715742092518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-59298064147203763602012-06-16T08:48:49.589-07:002012-06-16T08:48:49.589-07:00lol... yet another reminder that its about the shi...lol... yet another reminder that its about the shift in consciousness and not NECESSARILY about the "technique"... which I think you typified in this statement, "My own commitment to bringing NVC to the world is based on wanting to transform how we view and relate to ourselves, each other, and the natural world of which we are a part."<br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444180800942952350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-65526363152968667202012-06-15T00:49:28.825-07:002012-06-15T00:49:28.825-07:00Ahhh..

I liked the detailed description of the dynamics in our conversations and the differentiation of workplace communication and level of vulnerability from workshops and practice groups. This just expanded my vocabulary to when I give the final warnings in my foundation trainings.<br />I have a wish that you'd soon address a challenge at next level of NVC Pernille Plantenerhttp://www.peacebyheart.dknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5754739242520868315.post-32875226525790985302012-06-14T23:45:40.971-07:002012-06-14T23:45:40.971-07:00Well said!

I might add that early use of NVC language can include a sense of "power over" through the use of a specialist language "on", rather than "with", others. Wanting more fluidity with other NVC practitioners as well as the world.Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652071451225772440noreply@blogger.com
