TL;DR Main points:

Using the NVC framework:

  1. Understand what you're feeling from the first page in this PDF.
    1. Understand what your met or unmet needs are from the 2nd page in the PDF
  2. Now, you understand what's going on within yourself.
  3. Next, understand what the other person is feeling
    1. And what their unmet needs are
  4. Then, reach out to them with an "I'd like to connect with you" request when the emotions are not high for either party "while the iron is cold"
  5. Then, work on creating new agreements to meet both your + their unmet needs
    1. Agreements only work when they work with both parties — they're not written in stone.

Post-workshop addition that speaks to desire to do this out in the world (silently, without interacting): Harry Palmer's "Just like me" exercise, practiced from a distance, with strangers.
