Kathleen Macferran, Certified NVC Trainer
Inspired by Marshall Rosenberg's teachings, Kathleen Macferran's self-empathy exercise offers a transformative approach for those challenging moments when you fall short of your own expectations. This practice helps you connect deeply with the unmet needs and intentions behind your actions, allowing you to move from self-criticism to self-compassion. By embracing this process, you can foster genuine learning and growth. If you're committed to embodying Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in your daily life, especially during times of self-judgment, this exercise is a vital tool on your journey.
