Benjamin Franklin

How can Nonviolent Communication (NVC) help you manage feelings of loneliness?

Let’s differentiate between alone and lonely. You can be alone, in any meaningful sense, and not feel lonely. And you could be surrounded by others, and yet experience loneliness for any variety of reasons — including the fact that just because people are there does not mean you feel any meaningful connection with them.

Nonviolent Communication is based on the premise that we all have the same needs.

And from the standpoint of NVC, feelings come from whether or not we perceive our needs to be fulfilled, met, or satisfied.

When your need for safety is met, you have certain feelings. When your need for safety is not met, you have different feelings. The same is true for trust, autonomy, love, and all the other Universal Human Needs.

Loneliness is a feeling. Knowing where the feeling of loneliness comes from may help the feeling shift into something else.

Perhaps the title of this article caught your eye. Was your initial response something like, “Are you kidding? I do not use violence to communicate!” If so, you are not alone. This was my reaction as well when I was discussing a care plan with a colleague who informed me that its language was violent. In the moment, I was puzzled and, if I’m truthful, offended....

CCL Board Member Beth Hanson brought this poll result to my attention and wondered if we could encourage people to see our similarities and commonalities as a way to reduce divisiveness. To me, divisiveness results from a loss of human connection...

Not long ago, I was facilitating a training where we were exploring how NVC can be used to learn from our limitations without losing self-respect.

A woman told us she screamed at her child that morning before coming to the training. She said some things to the child that she wished she hadn't said - and when she looked into her child's eyes, she saw how hurt he was.

Empathic Listening is a mixture of communication skills and awareness to use when you genuinely want to connect. You can use it to applaud someone’s victory or to help uncover what’s really troubling her. The result is often a deeper sense of connection, relief and joy!

One of the things that strongly stood out for me when visionary, teacher and author Marshall Rosenberg spoke was that he planted most of what he said within a larger socio-cultural context. Even when he engaged in role plays focusing on personal relationship challenges volunteered by audience members, one could recognize a broader landscape informing his responses. His concern was not solely with the interpersonal breakthroughs that people might experience by learning the NVC process but equally, and perhaps even more so, he was concerned with the questionable merit of the systemic structures shaping and directing people’s lives.

“This above all – to thine own self be true.”

William Shakespeare

When Our Own Pain Keeps Us
At the beginning of a flight, flight attendants advise that if the plane loses air pressure, passengers should put on their own oxygen masks before putting them on their children. This is because an adult who dies of suffocation is of no help to a small child. So it is with empathy.....
