“
I have felt a deeper sense of compassion for myself along with finding gentle acceptance in the presence of conflict and anger. I often find myself coming back to the methods you’ve shared and have felt inspired to share your work with my family and friends.

The Energy Behind Our Words
On this week’s podcast, there were several questions concerning how we can introduce our loved ones to Nonviolent Communication.
And just like anything else, the best way to teach something is to live it. Â The best way to inspire others to learn NVC will be to offer them an experience of being in connection with you that feels better, and more authentic, and more loving, and less judgmental than being in relationship with others.
The Protective vs. The Punitive Use of Force and 3 Strategies to Try
I was sitting with competing emotions recently–feeling peace and joy regarding the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday for those of us in the US, and conversely, feeling a lot of dread and hopelessness surrounding the increasing violence not only in the Middle East but in regions all across the globe. I found myself wondering “Is violence ever justified?” You may be surprised to find out that indeed, sometimes force is exactly what is needed.
The 2 Main Differences Between Boundaries and Requests
There are two main misconceptions about boundaries. The first is that a boundary is a punishment.  Now that you’ve gone and done this terrible, awful thing to me, my only option is to punish you for your actions by enforcing a boundary. The second is that a boundary is something I force you to do.  “You will not speak to me in that tone of voice”, or “You will not continue to disrespect the family in this way.”
