nonviolent communication

Practicing presence as we sense what others might be feeling or needing instead of telling people what they are feeling and needing or assuming others are thinking judgmental thoughts.

In nonviolent communication we practice empathy. Empathy is not sympathy or identification. All of these are different things, but can all have some value.

In nonviolent communication we practice guessing feelings and needs. This is very different from telling someone we know how they feel or what they need.
