    This is incredibly helpful! My boyfriend and I are at an impasse and I'm realizing it is our communication style with conflict. I've been learning about NVC and your videos are really helping. Especially how you express yourself with him. I would love more videos of you two working out problems. The real life example is helpful beyond words.

    I've been angry at my husband because of something he said, so I decided to download the Tough Talk sheet and follow all steps. I haven't shared it with him yet but I'm amazed at how it has helped me understand my feelings. The anger I thought I was feeling was actually a mix of other feelings, such as disappointment and vulnerability.
    It's beautiful to see that not only does NVC help one communicate better, but it also makes us get in touch with our inner selves and thus understand ourselves better.
    You are making a huge difference in people's lives. I truly appreciate that. Thank you!

    I am - so - impressed by the sheer courage it must have taken for you two to actually share a moment so personal for both of you.
    Hands down one of the best contents that can be found on internet these days. Thank you for your kindness.
    Conflict resolution talks are never a piece of cake, and I would personally be too out-focused from the camera eyeballing me to be able to go through with the talk^^'' amazing confidence you guys have in each other - very inspiring!

    Wow! I found this really helpful and am excited to put this in practice ❤️ sometimes I get really impatient or also fear being unheard or misunderstood and seeing you two speak and listen slowly, mindfully, attentively, and patiently really gave me an idea of how I can navigate my triggers, even in my own head. Great video!!

    Wow, watching this was exhausting!
    I feel relieved to see that others - NVC experienced others - also need to take their time to find out what is going on inside them and how to express it. I thought it was just me taking ages to express myself in this form :D Thank you for the encouragement and insights!
    I feel happily jealous seeing how lovely you two care for each other ❤️

    Okay, so this is my first comment on CZcams ever. I could not be silent and not to express my admiration to you, Cup of Empathy. It is so encouraging to see how confusing to identify emotions and needs it can be even for mindfull people who are aware of NVC method. I still struggle with it sometimes. Thank you so much for being so opened and vulnerable. I cried with you while watching the video. It was healing and very helpful. Thank you.

  • @imakemusique
    @imakemusique Před 4 lety +6

    That was beautiful. It was very interesting to see how you were able to meet each other "in the middle" as it seems like you are more engaging this from a place of feelings and your partner is more logical. You were able to make him understand your needs and thus enable him to let go of the need to be "right" and instead see the needs/feelings behind it firstly. NVC is very challenging but is there anything more important than how we communicate with ourselves and others? Thank you so much for sharing.

    Wow! That was painful to watch. I anticipated the reaction of sadness right after he explained what he needed in a logical way. I do this and don't understand another way. Again and again I find myself at that exact same impasse and it never seems to matter how big it little the actual problem is. I want to thank you both for your courage to make this video. I can't yet wrap my thoughts around what I watched but it's safe to say I can see it from a little different perspective because I was not personally involved or triggered. Thank you

    Hi Marianne, thank you for sharing this touching video! One question. What do you mean with "being full"? I have heard you say this in various videos. Does it mean that we need space and should take a break because we can't absorb anymore information? Thank you for all your great work! Cheers Sonia

  • @ernestjones1038
    @ernestjones1038 Před 5 lety +6

    Amazing. Thanks. I just stumbled into your videos. I've been watching everything I can find from Marshall Rosenberg and now I see I can go through your videos and absorb more wonderful examples. I need these examples. I see the power in this, but I stumble badly when I attempt NVC. (I'm blessed with a very difficult but patient wife)
    I very much dislike making mistakes, because I am afraid of being vulnerable. I find your example of being vulnerable to be immensely moving and inspiring. You are groping around making mistakes and not being perfect shows me that maybe I don't need to be afraid. There may be a different kind of power that is more beautiful in being imperfect and human. (Is that power called love?)

      Yes things are fine we me and my wife.
      It has been interesting that my wife is more interested in what I discover when using NVC to analyze myself. No interest at all, more like disinterest with disgust, when it seems I am analyzing where she is. Thankfully NVC does not need to be practiced overtly, it still helps with active listening.

  • @keiraminter1548
    @keiraminter1548 Před 2 lety

    This video does NOT represent respectful communication. In fact, it is a very good example of unequal communication, and a possibly abusive relationship. This is why: The woman initiates the communication. She is open, loving and warm. The dude is cold, with a thin veneer of friendly. He sets the baseline for the communication on HIS terms. She tries to connect with him, unsuccessfully, and at 9:43 she collapses emotionally. Only then do his barriers come down. He is clearly more comfortable when she is distressed and not in her power. It seems to me this lovely woman is doing all she can to learn communication strategies in the mistaken belief it will make her boyfriend present with her. It never works. In a relationship of equals where the power is shared, you do not need to try this hard.

    • @khill8645
      @khill8645 Před 2 lety +2

      The idea that those who are analytical by default are abusive is toxic.
      One could go line-by-line here and adjust the framing to say the exact opposite and it would be just as valid -- "he is clearly more comfortable when she is distressed" can just as easily be presented as "he makes himself more emotionally vulnerable, even though it's difficult for him, as a means of comforting her when she's distressed." This analysis only works because you've assumed that the 'warm' outer presentation is preferable and "comfortable" for him, but don't seem to take into account that 'warm, emotional' presentations can be used to coerce just like the 'cold and analytical' can (or that he's just masking, which opens up an entire Narnia of ableism and autism discourse).
      Analyzing a ten-minute conversation between two people and making conclusions about their relationship writ large is bad enough on its own, but it's highly irresponsible to claim it presents evidence of abuse.
      Side note: if your commentary includes "[Person does x.] It never works" in regards to one single conversation (especially one in which she specifically says she considers the conflict resolved), that's not an analysis of that interaction - that's projection.

    • @michaelsager5688
      @michaelsager5688 Před 2 lety +1

      I can put myself easily in this couples shoes. If you come to me and say I never clean the toilet and I know that I have then we have an issue. I need to know this conversation is happening in reality and good faith. Let's first clear the facts up. If it's understood that I do infact clean the toilet but the real issue is I don't do it as frequently as my significant other would like that is an entirely different conversation. I am by no means saying I am right. Just my perspective. I have had alot of the conversations and they go poorly. I wonder if she couldnt have just said I am upset you don't take all of my request as seriously as I would like. You clean the toilet sometimes but other times you don't. If he agrees with her then it's easy to see them talking about how that makes her feel disconnected, disrespected or even alone in the relationship but if she says you never clean the toilet and he says yes I have and she then quickly makes the conversation about emotions and connection when the conversation began as a factual argument then there is going to be difficulty.

      @@michaelsager5688 Agree, I felt the issue was never resolved, but rather commandeered into something else entirely. No agreement was made about the factuality of the conflict, nor what will happen going forward regarding the durned toilet. Talking about how to approach communication with one another is great, but not actually putting it toward solving the issue at hand isn't.
