True, although FWIW NVC tends to come off as inauthentically appealing to emotion from the perspective of those who are aware of, but do not subscribe to it. That communication can then be perceived as manipulative and work against the communicator's original intent, even if the listener shares their underlying goals of wanting to be kinder and more empathetic.
And since NVC has little impact on those who are malicious or acting in bad faith, it ends up doing more harm than good imo.
- NateEag 5y agoInteresting. So far I've not encountered that effect. I wonder if it's a result of applying the formula mechanically rather than actually listening to and empathizing with the person the NVCer is talking to. Regardless, thanks for sharing your experience. It's something that hadn't occurred to me and I'm grateful that you shared it, as I now know to be aware of that as something that can happen and to watch for it.
