\u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s such a seemingly simple question \u2014 yet research by professor, lecturer and author Bren\u00e9 Brown has revealed that the average American adult has the ability to name only three feelings. How many can you name? Can you guess what they are?\u00a0 Maybe take a moment before reading further and see how many you can actually write down.<\/p>\n

For most it is limited to these:<\/p>\n

– Mad
\n– Glad
\n– Sad<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it \u2014 and I think we all know that human beings are vastly more complex than this.<\/p>\n

Psychoanalyst Karl Jung once quipped that the paradox is the only thing complicated enough to approach being able to explain the human experience. Yet the average American adult is limited to naming three emotions. Perhaps this is why we greet each other with that dreaded platitude of \u201chow are you doing?\u201d with no reasonable expectation of a real response from the other party other than \u201cok\u201d so we can move along to our next task for the day.<\/p>\n

In April of this year, the Adirondack Diversity Initiative, with sponsorship from Paul Smith\u2019s College, and support from North Country Community College and Citizen Advocates \u2014 hosted\u00a0 a 2-day intensive workshop on NonViolent Communication (NVC). We were privileged to have amazing trainers from the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence<\/a>\u2014 Gwen Olton and Jonathon Jones \u2014 teach us, and nearly 60 people join in the learning that took place at the VIC.<\/p>\n

So what is NonViolent Communication?\u00a0<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

Quite simply, NVC is rooted in the idea that all human behavior is geared toward getting our needs met. We may not always be aware of what a specific need is, and our strategies for getting our needs met may not always work in our favor or be implemented with nonviolence. But as humans who are trying our best, we are all seeking ways to meet our needs.<\/p>\n

It has been said by the neurobiologist Antonio Demasio that \u201cwe are not thinking machines. We are feeling machines that think.\u201d We have named our species \u2014 homo sapiens \u2014 rather arrogantly perhaps, after our ability to think, and we like to think of ourselves as thinking machines. Yet the more we learn about our minds and bodies, the more it reveals that what actually defines us is our incredible capacity for feeling, with the occasional capacity to think rationally.<\/p>\n

What NonViolent Communication seeks to teach us \u2014as a technology, an application of learning \u2014 is how to better meet our human needs, without resorting to manipulation or violence. But we can only achieve this if we are in tune with our feeling selves.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Name your feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step of NVC is reflecting on my more specific emotional state and then naming that feeling. In our training, we were aided with worksheets that pointed to over 180 emotions. For example, consider the difference between saying to my partner that \u201cI felt angry (mad) that you didn\u2019t communicate with me that you were going to be late\u201d versus \u201cI felt frustrated\/puzzled\/irritated\/anxious\/suspicious that you didn\u2019t communicate with me that you were going to be late.\u201d Depending on which feeling I pick in the second sentence, I would communicate a very different state of being and help to create a space for a very different conversation.<\/p>\n

What is the actual feeling I\u2019m trying to communicate? Is it in fact mad? Or is it something else? Angry and anxious are not the same.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Identify the need behind the feeling<\/strong> \"\"<\/p>\n

Behind the feelings, we then begin to address the needs that are often driving our feelings. For example, to take the classic \u201cdirty dishes\u201d fight that so many roommates or partners get into \u2014 what is actually driving this? Perhaps one person\u2019s need is to be more carefree, to enjoy downtime differently, and they don\u2019t care about the dishes as a priority. That isn\u2019t a need for them. Whereas for the other person, they need a tranquil and calm space \u2014 so for them having a messy kitchen is an infringement on that and feels like the other person then doesn\u2019t care about their needs. If my need for tranquility and my partner\u2019s need to be more carefree are in conflict \u2013 but we are making assumptions about one another\u2019s behavior \u2014 then the likelihood of us ending up in a fight because we are assuming the other person doesn\u2019t value us is rather high.<\/p>\n

And this is just over something as superficial as dirty dishes, never mind something more value-based or political that is driving so much of the polarization in America right now.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Make request to address your feeling and need<\/strong><\/p>\n

Making requests of someone else is the last step in NonViolent Communication, and it is a tricky step. A request is just that, and it can be met with a no. If we make a request we have to enter it knowing we may be rebuffed and told no. Part of learning to make requests is setting healthy boundaries, and learning what our needs are, and how to get those needs met, and how to negotiate more openly and transparently to do so.<\/p>\n

However it is impossible to do this before we spend a great deal of time going through the (often exhausting) spectrum of human emotions and learning to better reflect upon our own state of being and to more correctly name what we are feeling. As we learn to do this, we can also better empathize with others.<\/p>\n

When I realize that it isn\u2019t just sadness I\u2019m feeling when a friend took their life this past year (sad), but also feelings such as heavy, shocked, dejected, gloomy, or helpless, I can begin to reflect on the situation more fully. When two of my best friends since childhood, whom I\u2019ve now known for some 40 years both lose their fathers during Covid, being more in touch with my own feelings like this around death, allows me to be a better friend to them in their own time of mourning \u2014 to move beyond just \u201csad\u201d and to have a better ability to empathize with them. Not because I know what it is like for them \u2014I don\u2019t. But by living in a more full spectrum of the human emotional experience, we also are able to sit with others when they are engaged with that as well, instead of limiting them to mad, glad, or sad. How often have we perhaps caught ourselves saying to a friend \u201cthat must have made you angry\/sad?\u201d I know I have. Perhaps after learning NonViolent Communication, we can do better than that. Instead stay curious, and offer a deeper listening and say, \u201csay more\u201d or \u201cwhat else?\u201d<\/p>\n

Learning and practicing \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking outside my window, at the mess our culture finds itself in, I certainly for one think we all could afford to spend some more time attuning ourselves to such wisdom and find ways to be more gentle and kind with ourselves and one another.<\/p>\n

Many wonder what the link is between the interpersonal, dirty dishes, and say creating a more welcoming business, or attending to economic development, or being a more effective advocate for marginalized voices, being a better ally?<\/p>\n

The one person we control in this world is ourselves. And if we are not in tune with our own emotional world, we can not be an effective force for good. Kingian nonviolence (the activist movement named after Martin Luther King) has many of its roots in Nonviolent Communication). We must start with the self, and extend from there to the interpersonal.<\/p>\n

We can use a basketball analogy: if we aspire to play in the NBA, we better first learn how to dribble a basketball, and play in grade school and college. If we can not practice centering our emotional world and being in tune with oneself, or partner, friends, and colleagues, then the idea that we can do this when we find ourselves in a culturally, racially, or politically heated situation is absurd. Those are high stakes situations and require training.<\/p>\n

Just like we couldn\u2019t suddenly expect ourselves to compete with a professional athlete if we never go to a gym or train our bodies. We have to train our nervous and emotional systems as well.<\/p>\n

There are many roads that lead to this, and content knowledge is certainly part of this \u2014 learning our histories in a more decolonized way, cultural consciousness training, all of these are pieces of a puzzle. So too is learning more about our own inner emotional worlds, and for that we need technologies like Nonviolent Communication to build a more peaceful and joyful world that is welcoming for all people.<\/p>\n
