conflicting needs VS conflicting people… hmmmm…..

This post was a response to a client. I am posting it here in case others can benefit!

My sister and I have a history of arguing as well. The funny thing is, the NVC conflict resolution approach works the same with adults as it does with children: both of you have a need, and the needs are what is in conflict (rather than you two, as people, being in conflict. Big difference!!) It is nothing personal — it is simply two people trying to get their needs met! Figure out the needs, and you can usually resolve the conflict.
