Study Notes
Nonviolent Communication Principles
- Empathizing with the other person's reasons for refusing a request fosters constructive dialogue.
- Use clear and positive language when making requests to enhance understanding.
- Distinguish between pure feelings and interpretations or judgments, which can be harmful.
- Framing feelings properly focuses on personal experiences rather than blaming others.
Language of Feelings
- Wrongly labeled feelings include words like deceived, manipulated, and pressured, which imply fault in others.
- Appropriate feelings reflecting unmet needs: powerless, alone, jealous, cranky, and depressed.
- Positive feelings indicating satisfied needs: relaxed, proud, satisfied, happy, or touched.
Taking Responsibility
- Emphasizing personal choice over obligation can reshape emotional responses.
- Replace "must" with "choose" to enhance accountability and clarity regarding needs.
- Three-step process for reframing obligations:
- List activities perceived as mandatory.
- Rephrase each point starting with "I choose to…".
- Add rationale by starting with "because I would like to…".
Effective Communication Techniques
- Utilize "I" statements to express experiences without placing blame.
- Avoid generalizations for clearer, more effective communication.
- Practice active listening to foster understanding.
- Identify and connect with emotions during conversations.
"I" vs. "You" Messages
- "I" messages foster ownership of feelings and respect for others' rights.
- "You" messages often lead to blame and defensiveness, hindering resolution.
- Use of "I" messages promotes constructive problem-solving by reducing conflicts.
Structure of an "I" Message
- Begin with a clear observation of behavior that is unwanted.
- Express personal feelings in response to that behavior.
- State underlying needs that are not being met.
- Specify a preferred outcome or request for change.
Expectations and Realities
- "I" messages should only aim to initiate healthy conversations, not to force immediate resolutions.
- Setting unrealistic expectations about responses can lead to disappointment.
- "I" messages should communicate personal perspectives without pressure for immediate solutions.
