Why is it so scary to be honest?

The warm and radiant yes of the heart is perfect, like the sun,
in bringing all things to life and nourishing all that is truly human.

John Welwood

Do you struggle with sometimes saying, “Yes” when you really want to say, “No?” This can happen when fear, e.g., fear of being rejected, someone else’s anger, hurting their feelings, comes between us and our true feelings. An effective tool to lessen fear, and its dysfunctional choices, is found in the practice of Non-Violent Communication. With this tool, we learn how to identify and connect with our own feelings. We learn to undo shame or blame and replace it with self-acceptance and compassion.

While there are many ways to learn and practice NVC, it typically starts with the book.
