I learned what non violent communication is a day ago and I’m using it to mend a friendship.

Have you however used it at the workplace?

I find it unpractical: there are so many things to do at the workplace and the last thing stressed people with deadlines need is to have a conversation about feelings, but maybe I’m wrong?

A question for nurses working bedside: do you actually use non violent communication at your ward with your patients and actually have time to do your other duties, like charting, preparing infusions and meds, dealing with providers, insurance, the alcoholic who fights you, the demented one who constantly tries to leave the unit, the one who wants to leave ama (against medical advice)?

    You have to, even if you don’t do the four steps out loud.

    1. Make an objective observation as it happens (don’t lump it with others in the past)
    2. Express how it makes you feel (if appropriate)
    3. Express your need (so the feeling can be attributed to it, and not your interlocutor)
    4. Make a specific, actionable request that would satisfy your need (which can be denied, it’s not an order)

    You can use non-violent communication even if you only do steps 1 and 4 out loud, as long as you understand 2 and 3.
