024-NVC Happy Hour!
Episode Summary
This episode was recorded on Friday night, when some folks might be enjoying Happy Hour - thus the name. Plus, Dr. B. and Heather decided to keep in loose - just having an "organic" conversation that covers several topics. We hope you enjoy.
Episode Notes
- "Would you say one of our greatest freedoms is in our ability to choose how we react to things? ." (00:43.2)
- "How did you get involved and what kind of an impact or what changes have you seen since you've been using NVC? " (05:28:7)
- "...if you're speaking in observational terms, then you have a common place to start the conversation, you're not getting caught up in judgments that start the conversation about on the wrong foot. So that's all true, but what we're talking about here is the other real huge benefit of being able to distinguish between observations and evaluations has to do with what kind of internal space, what kind of internal environment do you end up cultivating for yourself when you're operating in evaluation internally, and especially if you don't even realize you're doing it. It just adds a whole level of suffering that is not necessary, " (08:15:7)
- "Which of your relationships has transformed the most?" (09:42:1)
- "You know what I realized recently, someone was telling me about a conflict and I gave them the option of responding with empathy or giving advice, and they chose giving advice, and I find that more often than not, people who aren't well-versed in NVC will always choose advice." (11:04:5)
- "Do you think there is such a thing as perfectionism and NVC... Have you trained people? And people get really bogged down in the details of getting it right yet." (17:14:4)
