Presented by Jen Gergen
Part of the NonViolent Communication Series

In this session, we’ll slow down the self-empathy process to explore what’s alive in us and consider how we show up in our communities.
Together, we’ll:
Gently unpack your judgments, moralizations, criticisms, assessments, and evaluations
Practice shifting these stories into clear observations that support these beliefs (separating “fact” from interpretation)
Build awareness of your feelings so you can better understand what you need
Explore how understanding your needs helps you name your perfect preference as well as see where you can be flexible (while we examine the common barriers that make expressing needs difficult)
Craft clear, effective requests and explore your fears and hesitations that can surface when giving or hearing requests (building your capacity to avoid collapsing, defending, or reacting to them as demands)!
Friday, January 23rd from 9:30 – noon, Online Session.
