Marshall often said our
biggest jackals are our best teachers. As we try to learn and practice
NVC, it is helpful to recognize when we are triggered by something someone else
did or said and connect to the need that is alive for us. It can be
especially upsetting for people when they are triggered by someone leading an
NVC session or by another participant in a session. If you find yourself
in this situation, we encourage you to schedule an empathy session with one of
the volunteers listed below. At a mutually convenient time, they will
listen empathically and help you connect with your needs in the
situation. You can then decide whether you feel complete or would like to
connect with the person whose actions provided the trigger. A volunteer
can also support this conversation by listening empathically to both of
you. We are hoping this service will support individuals in their growth
and the growth of trust and connection within the TriNVC community.
