NVC Empathic Listening

The Nonviolent Communication process describes empathy as a quality of presence in how one listens to another. This episodes explores the subject of empathy through some of Marshall Rosenberg's earlier writing. "I can testify then when you are in psychological distress and someone really hears you without passing judgment on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mold you, it feels damn good. It is astonishing how elements which seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens." —Carl Rogers If you have comments about this episode or topics you'd like me to  explore in future episodes, please submit them here:   https://www.rachellelamb.com/contact-rachelle
