    The Art of NVC with Micah Salaberrios

    Micah Salaberrios is an expert in the field of Nonviolent Communication and has been teaching since 2016. He wrote the bestselling book "The Art of Nonviolent Communication", and hosts a popular podcast, "The Art of NVC", with over 70,000 downloads. In this conversation, Nate and Micah discuss the practical application of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in real-life situations. Micah shares examples of how to use emergency empathy to de-escalate heated moments and identify underlying needs. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize the need for practice and flexibility in using NVC and the importance of using it in your natural voice. Micah Salaberrios Website, Podcast & Practice Group: The Art of NVC Micah’s belief in the transformative power of NVC has been the driving force behind his work, helping people to resolve conflicts peacefully and fostering deeper understanding in their relationships. About the Host: Nate Guadagni is an NVC based Life Coach with over 15 years of experience in coaching and group facilitation. He is also a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Qigong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ teacher, the founder of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bo Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, an accessible yoga system and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Balance for Life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a senior fitness program.  Tools discussed in this episode: 1) ⁠⁠DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the NVC Template Pack here: • The Magic Formula - 4 Step NVC Process • List of Basic Needs We All Have • Feelings When Your Needs Are Not Satisfied • Feelings When Your Needs Are Satisfied Additional Resources: Language of Life Community - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Weekly Group Classes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Free Templates, Coaching, & Resources: ⁠⁠⁠Language of Life Website⁠⁠⁠ NVC Teaching Videos - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apply to be a guest on the Podcast - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free NVC Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Books and Trainings - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CNVC Official Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Key Points: Micah Salaberrios wrote 'The Arts of Nonviolent Communication' to complement Marshall Rosenberg's original book on Nonviolent Communication (NVC). The language and approach of NVC need to be updated to fit the current times and the way we communicate. Sounding natural and authentic is crucial when using NVC to avoid sounding formulaic or robotic. Emergency empathy is a powerful tool in resolving conflicts, as it allows us to identify how someone feels and why without blaming or judging them. Practicing NVC involves thinking about possible feelings and needs in difficult conversations and going deeper to uncover the core issues. NVC can turn conflict into connection and lead to a deeper sense of understanding and empathy. Using emergency empathy can help de-escalate conflicts and create a sense of calm in heated moments. Connecting feelings to needs can provide clarity and understanding in emotional situations. NVC tools can be helpful in navigating power struggles and resolving conflicts in relationships. NVC is a lifelong practice that can lead to deeper connections and more effective communication. Sound Bites "The Arts of Nonviolent Communication: A Complement to Marshall Rosenberg's Book" "Emergency empathy is just guessing or asking how someone feels and why they feel that way." "NVC can turn conflict into connection and lead to a deeper sense of understanding and empathy." "Let me just multiple choice here. I'm feeling this. Which one are you feeling?" "If I'm feeling something, it's because a need is being satisfied or not satisfied in this moment." "Just the sensory somatic feeling in the body is the first level of just accepting, honoring it, understanding, and then the intellectual understanding will come out."

    Breaking Free: The Journey to Emotional Liberation in 3 Stages

    We take you on a journey through the concept of taking responsibility for your feelings, as outlined in NVC. We'll walk you through the three stages of emotional development—starting with "emotional slavery," where you might feel burdened by others' emotions. Then, we'll dive into the "obnoxious stage," where you start to push back, and finally reach "emotional liberation," where you learn to fully own your feelings without putting that weight on others. By sharing our personal experiences, we aim to help you better understand how these stages play out in real life and highlight the importance of recognizing your needs and practicing empathy in your relationships.

    The 4 Choices: Transforming Reactions

    This episode explores the powerful concept of connecting our feelings to underlying needs and how to navigate receiving difficult messages. It’s explained that while others' words may be a stimulus, our feelings stem from how we interpret them and our own needs. The discussion delves into the four choices we have when responding to challenging messages: hearing blame and focusing on what's wrong with the speaker, hearing blame and focusing on what's wrong with ourselves, recognizing our own feelings and needs, or identifying the speaker's feelings and needs. Through examples and role-playing, the episode illustrates how to effectively apply these principles in personal and professional settings, ultimately fostering greater understanding and connection.

    We explore more of Chapter 4 of the NVC book regarding "Identifying and Expressing Feelings."

We’ll dive into practical examples to help you recognize and express your emotions more authentically. Whether you're new to NVC or looking to deepen your practice, we hope you find valuable insights to transform the way you communicate with others and understand yourself.
