Yvette Erasmus, NVC Trainer
Yvette Erasmus suggests that making peace with our feelings reduces suffering. Sometimes we want to hurry through our feelings and just feel better. A nonviolent way of working with our feelings is to be present as our feelings change. We will notice that as needs are more met or unmet, our feelings will change.
Instead of asking why I feel this way, ask what is this feeling telling me.
