Conversations from the Heart
A weekly, soul-nourishing podcast offering psychologically grounded, heart-centered reflections on human relationships, inner healing, and compassion-based communication.
Focused on live mini-coaching moments to help callers shift from reactive, domination-based communication to collaborative, heart-centered connection. Listen for new scripts for stuck situations, new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and guidance on how to approach these situations with empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication strategies. Here, we emphasize understanding both one's own needs and the needs of others, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and finding ways to express ourselves authentically while respecting others' boundaries.
Conversations from the Heart
#46 - How can I use NVC to smooth out tension with my adult daughter?
It's only human to want the traditional NVC formula to solve all our connection problems.
However, what the traditional observation, feelings, needs and request paradigm often does best is help us sort our own stuff out internally, first. After we use it to get our own stuff straight, then we can experiment with the best way to connect with those around us.
Want to experience this with a real life example? Here's what we discuss on this week's episode:
- 3:31 When identifying feelings and needs is internal - not external - work
- 9:37 Getting wrongness out of the picture
- 13:40 A script for moving forward
