“Non-Violent Communication has Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests. Expression by promoting honest and clear communication of ones inner experience. Observations involve stating the facts of a situation without judgement or evaluation. Feelings require identifying and naming the emotions that arise in response to the observation. Needs involve needs that are connected to the feelings. Universal human requirements like autonomy, connection, safety, and respect.
