I’m familiar with some of these ideas, so those did feel like handshakes from old acquaintances. The problem I’ve always had with this type of material is the gap between understanding it and installing it. When I found it, I thought NVC seemed profound, true, and very useful, I consumed a large volume of said material, and I think it has probably not influenced my behavior at all in the long run. Without some kind of nontrivial training program in implementation of this type of knowledge, I’m kind of in a state of despair of every really taking advantage of it.
There are plenty of NVC workshops that provide opportunities for training.
