A guide to difficult conversations

You can find a lot of Marshall Rosenberg lectures and even full workshops on YouTube.

An important part of the nvc practice is to give up attachment to outcome. Making a true request means that there will be no negative consequences if the answer is “No”. It is possible that your wife’s brother was triggered partly because you insisted (if you did), maybe he needed autonomy, solitude, to feel that he matters, to grieve, to rest.

I teach NVC and often use a small yellow book called Communication Fundamentals by Jean Morrison.

I can not figure how to buy it :( :(

Only one website seems to have it, but shipping only to Australia :(

Any ideas how to get it??

I was curious, too, and after some Googling, I found it here:

Looks like they ship just about anywhere.

Yes that’s where I got it.

I love this little book, because it focuses on the basics without getting heady.

When I teach I use it for drills.

Get it and:

- start rewording in giraffe, esp. harsh internal dialogue

- then start using “everyday” language to say the same things

- remember that intention and alignment come become technique. Without them technique becomes a minus, not a plus.
