Tools of Healing - A List of Feelings and Needs by the New York Center for Nonviolent Communication

 Feelings and Needs

A fundamental assumption in Nonviolent Communication is that everything we’ve ever done and everything we will ever do is motivated by universal human needs. And, feelings arise when needs are met or not met.

By connecting to the feelings and needs that underlie behavior, we can experience more compassion and understanding with ourselves and with others.

Some insight! The How-To's of Approaching Global Healing

-

Me: After having lived for 95 years, and my childhood under a totalitarian government/Hitler, I have finally arrived at what I consider my global responsibility. Yes, technology, fast-moving medical infusions, and the global pandemic have shifted my orientation toward the need for Global Healing! Whether friends, family members, teachers, or therapists, ask, “What is this? Please explain what you have in mind.” So here it goes! My beliefs: I am reviewing my own life cycle and examining my own healing process. I have been “classified” with the name “a Holocaust victim.” Naming things suddenly become a short cut to classification. i.e., “Oh, you are a Jew” or “Yes, you are a teacher, a baker, a father…” These classifications give the other person access to what they have learned about my roles.  When I think of Global Healing, it brings memories from all my senses, acquired beliefs, and the location of when and where I first encountered the expression of Global Healing. ...

The Multi-Dimensional complex components of Global Healing [EK1]   The Pandemic virus makes neighbors fear neighbors BUT creative ingenuity left a surprise packet on my kitchen doorsteps never having to violate the quarantine rule against assembling. My neighbor left the most thoughtful children’s story which she had written two yes ago. The title of the book says it all: My Two Cities. The biography is about Hanni who 12 years was old when the German Anschluss occurred. Her father, mother, sister and Hanni had to say goodbye to their home, pack up and go to America to escape the Nazi take over. My neighbor may have heard about my interest and work on Global Healing. I have yet to find the most appropriate time to interview her, we have spoken on the telephone and have plans to make a ‘zoom date’ soon. My neighbor and Hanni will be presenting a book talk at the Brookline Public Library tomorrow so I will attend that on Zoom as well. I will keep you updated on what happens nex...

An introduction to Tamera

I am almost 95 and learning about Blogs. This is my first venture, and I’m just back with members of my family from Portugal, where I first took an online course and then last summer (2019) participated in an introductory week seminar on global healing. Some of you may know me to have experienced Kristallnacht in 1938, after which my parents put me on a Kindertransport (children’s train to England). It wasn’t until 1995, when I was 70, that my wife and I returned to visit where I was born. This experience was an attempt at reconciliation from the German government. Thus began my process of healing and my willingness (for the FIRST time) to share my story with my children and colleagues. A few years later, I felt I had benefitted from the reconciliation experience, and we were offered the opportunity to go back with my whole family. We were also provided the chance to become German citizens (and citizens of the European Union). In my second reconciliation visit, we lived with a German f...
