Non-violent communication and its limits

When we learn about non-violent communication (NVC), we start by studying the method intensively. Our brain tries to understand and apply the four-step method, while at the same time we explore what is alive in us on a physical and emotional level.
We set to work with enthusiasm and effort and realize that certain situations still throw us off course. We experience intense negative feelings or difficult moments in which what we have just learned is suddenly no longer tangible. Or we realize that it is difficult to maintain the basic attitude of NVC in certain situations: We may express ourselves in emotional and need words, but lose our goodwill towards the other person and the desire for connection.

Survival strategies take control

Old, inner wounded parts take control and try to control the situation or our counterpart in order to protect us - they do exactly what they have learned in the past as a survival strategy. Perhaps we realize in our lives that

• We have certain topics that we encounter again and again,
• we seem to have insatiable needs that nothing can really satisfy
• we always find ourselves in similar and frustrating relationship constellations.

Inner child work as a deepening

In such moments, we can supplement NVC with inner child work to reach deeper layers within us that have not been sufficiently illuminated and integrated so far. Inner Child Work supports us in developing new and more appropriate strategies to fulfill our deep needs.

What you can expect in this seminar

In this seminar we would like to provide you with methods and exercises - based on the inner child work of Dr. Margaret Paul and Dr. Erika Chopich, combined with the principles of non-violent communication - to help you recognize inner conflicts and resolve them step by step.

You learn:

• be mindful and compassionate of your feelings and accept them
• Identify and strengthen inner resources and make them accessible for your inner work
• getting to know old, wounded parts, listening to them and caring for them
• further develop your adult personality trait

This seminar is aimed at anyone who would like to take a closer look at their emotional integration and self-care. Previous knowledge of inner child work is not required. Previous knowledge of non-violent communication is beneficial and helpful.

Do you have any questions about the seminar? Or would you like to know whether it is a suitable approach for your individual life situation? Feel free to contact me via the contact form, or give me a call to discuss your questions! Also Anja and Louise you can achieve.
