The Art of NVC

Was introduced to NVC by my therapist recently, and this podcast (among others) was recommended. I’m so glad I started with this one, as it makes the theory of NVC so relatable and easy to digest. His voice is also very easy to listen to, and the short podcasts make this a go to on my short commute. Keep up the great content!!

This is the first teacher that makes NVC seem down to earth, accessible, and most importantly, doable. I’ve been hanging out on the sidelines of NVC for 2 years, listening to classes, reading books, and absorbing as much as I possibly can without actually implementing it. This guy’s got a voice that’s made for radio, his enthusiasm for the topic is infectious, and his short and to the point podcast episodes (I’m 7 in so far) make a really complex topic super simple. I’ve already received so many insights and takeaways from this podcast, like the desert island analogy for identifying feelings (“Can you experience this feeling on a desert island with nobody else around? If not, then it’s not a feeling.”) I can’t recommend this podcast enough. You’ll leave with valuable insights into NVC concepts and the motivation to finally commit to practicing it in your life. Thank you!

I’m deep in therapy and learning to be less fearful of confrontation and my own emotions. I listened to the book Non Violent Communication and though inspired by the theory, I found it hard (impossible) to apply in real life. THIS podcast is so clear, simple, and applicable. Great voice. I feel inspired to practice, even when it’s scary. I hope there will be more episodes.

Love your podcast and your book...especially your take on Emergency Empathy! Would you consider incorporating some mediation or some actual conversations demonstrating NVC ideas into your podcast?
