Dear %user.name_f%, 

“Argh. He just isn’t listening! AND he’s talking before I even finished my sentences! - He is so rude!” I thought to myself.

I was having a conversation with one of my brothers.

I use the term conversation loosely since he was doing most of the talking. And all I was hearing was the narrative inside my own head. 

"He's sooooooo bossy. And he always thinks he's right!" 

Sound familiar, %user.name_f%? 

Thankfully, just before I opened my mouth to say something I would regret later, I had a moment of clarity. 

I offered myself a quick moment of self-empathy. 

"Oh! I love it when I'm heard" my inner self said. 

Deep breath. 

"And, actually, I love it when I can hear him too and we can discuss our differences." 

Another deep breath. 

As I calmed down, I started hearing what my brother was actually saying — what matters to him. 

Then - of course! - once I was listening fully to him, he started hearing what I was saying too! 

Self-empathy is like a magic calming balm. It helps us to clarify what's important to us AND to bring it to fruition.

I will be including an introduction to self-empathy in my upcoming course, The Basics of Nonviolent Communication. You see, Nonviolent Communication is not just about connecting with others — I would estimate around 80% of the work is learning to connect to yourself first.

Join me for The Basics of NVC, starting on Tuesday October 3, 2023.

In this 6-session course, I will cover

• the basics of the Nonviolent Communication process
• how to give yourself empathy
• the steps to become more compassionate towards others
• How to practice saying how you really feel without judgments

Plus everyone who joins the course will get lifetime access to the downloadable recordings.

This course is for anyone with an interest in NVC — complete newbie or seasoned enthusiast!
