If we truly believe that all people in their essence are
divine/good, why do we so often forget that in our interactions
with others? Why do we make judgments that harm our relationships?
Are there processes we can learn that will help us process things
that happen without becoming defensive and, instead, meet these
things with compassion for others and ourselves?
In the 1980s and '90s, a psychologist, Marshall Rosenberg,
developed a set of principles and practices he named Non-Violent
Communication (NVC), which is designed to help us refrain from
negative judgments of others. In this episode, psychologist and
therapist Ben Bailey lays out the basics of the
NVC model and together with LDF host Dan
Wotherspoon introduces how it can help in LDS and
interpersonal settings.
Listen in! The model and practices are fascinating, and can really
be game changers for all our relationships.
