For my wife, Sophia, and me, NVC is the path toward deeper, more intimate and more satisfying relationships. Through this path, we look to create peace first within ourselves, then in our close relationships, and so on outward to encompass the whole world. We seek to become more adept at identifying our feelings and the energy that underlies them (aka "needs"). We thus escape from the defensive communication that is generally expressed as judgment, criticism or self-justification. We want to speak honestly about our own feelings and needs and to hear others' expressions of their feelings and needs with true presence and resonant empathy.
