#nvc basics

Dominance hierarchies want empty, emotionally detached puppets.

Feelings are a language of life.

People don’t make good slaves when they’re connected to life.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is irl Star Trek language. First contact would go smoother if the Federation has identified all fundamental physical, emotional and sensual (not the Kirk kind) 👽 needs of a species and lead the conversation around those.

I found this to be an interesting, somewhat relatable approach to NVC basics. I really appreciate the TV clips and succinct nature of explanations from Kat Green. It also seems Kat has an aversion to and discomfort with the word “hate” which... well I used to have a disgust response when hearing that word and chose to instead use the word “despise” or pause and seek something positive in the situation.

Seems I’ve been a little jaded away from my values. I hope to practice a little mindfulness of self and try reframing to a place from where my heart feels a little more full.
