Live NVC Courses: self empathy


Use this exercise to stay in dialogue and connect to needs while facing a “no”. Identify a situation where you have low confidence that you'll get your needs met, and it'll be hard hearing a “no” to your request.

The stronger your reaction, the more likely you are projecting.
