This video and the worksheet came into my life at a time when I may be losing a very good friend. After an argument, I time to look at my own behavior, and then I wrote drafts of what I wanted to say, and what I wanted to ask. The friend has withdrawn from me, though I saw in a group of friends last week and she was cordial. I was JUST thinking about this on my way home from the grocery store, thinking I would reach out to her, and kind of drafting in my head how to start. Now all of my drafts can go out the window because this is the way. Marianne, you and NVC are great. Thank you so much.

Once again I am appreciating the grounding of how to start a conversation. The NVC tools are incredible and I want to share them with the world. Your experience with Them is so useful in my everyday life. Ease being one of my core needs gets met more than not, now. HIP HIP HURRAY!!!!!

Thanks again for another video that we really love, these examples make things so much more concrete and realistic 🙂 By the way we have noticed a remarkable evolution in your English vocabulary and grammar over the past 2 years! 🙂

Howdy, all! Suggestions, please. I am helping my daughter communicate to her brother how disappointed, dismayed & cross she was/is with many aspects of a birthday reunion they had together with another sibling over a few days in France. She delivered her email, mostly NVC, but he has only vaguely replied. She would like some acknowledgement of what occurred during their time together & an apology to her partner. How to go about this? Got few pointers fro the video.

In reply to Paula. Hi Paula, what is your question exactly, how to deal with a relative that you are doubting whether you want to stay in contact with?

In reply to Chris Colarusso. Hi Chris, thanks for your topic suggestion, I like the idea. I have to say Im not an expert on young adults (meaning I dont have experience with doing NVC with them), but I still like the suggestion, I'll let it sink in and who knows I might do something with them in the future.

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah, thanks for your suggestion! It was already in my planning to also make a video about when someone does not want contact at all, happy to hear it might contribute to you. I dont know yet when I will make this video, but it's definitely on my list!
