id: nonviolent-communication-feelings-needs
title: NVC Feelings and Needs Dialogue
description: >-
The second and third steps of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent
Communication — identifying feelings and the underlying needs that drive
them. Used to move from observation to connection without blame.

steps:
- headline: Name the feeling
description: >-
The speaker identifies and names what they feel in response to the
observation: "I felt hurt and anxious..." rather than "I felt you
were wrong."
- headline: Name the need
description: >-
The speaker identifies the need underlying the feeling, not the
other person's behaviour: "...because I have a need for respect and
for predictability in our agreements."
- headline: Check the need
description: >-
The listener reflects the need back and asks if they have understood,
without agreeing or disagreeing.
- headline: Repeat for the other
description: >-
The other person now identifies their own feelings and needs in the
same form, building a shared picture of what each is needing.
outcome: >-
Both parties articulate the needs at stake, moving from positions to the
universal needs that can be met in many ways.
practice: >-
Feelings are not judgements — "I feel ignored" is often a thought about
the other. "I feel lonely" is a feeling. Needs are universal —
"respect," "safety," "contribution" — not strategies.
