A full day in-person intermediate workshop exploring how to work transformatively with unmet needs. Drawing on the work of Robert Gonzales & Susan Skye, and the "Transforming the Pain Dance Floor" map by Bridget Belgrave & Gina Lawrie. An electronic certificate is awarded on completion. Prerequisite: completion of Level 1 Foundation training (or equivalent NVC experience).

Unmet needs can generate intense feelings and stories that keep us stuck in cycles of reactivity. This day gives you tools and frameworks to approach those experiences differently — with more compassion, curiosity, and capacity for change.

What this course will support you to do

  • Use the differentiation process to work with unmet needs
  • Recognise the stories that keep you stuck — and begin to shift them
  • Work with the "Transforming the Pain Dance Floor" map
  • Apply Robert Gonzales & Susan Skye's approach to embodied NVC
  • Deepen your capacity for self-empathy in difficult moments

Certificate: An electronic certificate will be provided to all participants on completion of this workshop.

Prerequisite:

This is an intermediate course. Participants are expected to have completed an NVC Level 1 Foundation training (with Carolyn or another CNVC Certified Trainer) or to have equivalent NVC experience. If you are unsure whether this course is right for you, please get in touch.
