1h 37m
What if the source of our suffering is not what happens to us, but the meaning we make of it? In this reflective teaching, Aya Caspi explores Marshall Rosenberg’s concept of emotional liberation and the NVC practice of self-responsibility. Through stories, spiritual insight, and practical examples, she examines how judgments, interpretations, and conditioned thinking shape our inner experience — and how reconnecting with needs can return us to choice, compassion, and empowerment. Aya also offers an important trauma-informed perspective, acknowledging the real constraints people face while inviting a path toward greater inner freedom.
