How can I improve my nonviolent communication skills?

Improving nonviolent communication involves practicing empathy, active listening, and expressing your feelings honestly. Would you like tips on any specific area?

Yes, I struggle with expressing my feelings without sounding accusatory.

A good approach is to use 'I' statements. For example, instead of saying 'You never listen to me,' try 'I feel unheard when I share my thoughts.' This focuses on your feelings rather than placing blame.

That makes sense! How can I practice active listening?

You can practice active listening by giving your full attention, nodding, and summarizing what the other person says to show understanding. Would you like some exercises to help with this?

Yes, that would be helpful!
