Recognizing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/expressing-feelings\/\">expressing your feelings<\/a> helps others to understand you, but it doesn\u2019t give them much guidance on how to respond. For that, you need to connect the feelings to your underlying needs. In NVC, feelings and needs are tied together to express the idea that every feeling arises from a particular need that is or isn\u2019t being met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identifying the need underlying a certain feeling helps you get clear on what your goals are for this communication, but it\u2019s not always easy to identify the needs underlying our feelings since this is such a new idea for most of us. For reference, here is a list of the categories of universal needs that all humans share as well as some specific examples:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Autonomy<\/strong> (the right to choose your own goals and values in life)<\/li><li><strong>Celebration<\/strong> (to celebrate happy life events and to mourn our losses)<\/li><li><strong>Integrity<\/strong> (authenticity, creativity, meaning, self-worth)<\/li><li><strong>Interdependence<\/strong> (acceptance, empathy, love, respect, support)<\/li><li><strong>Play<\/strong> (fun, laughter)<\/li><li><strong>Spiritual Communion<\/strong> (beauty, inspiration, peace)<\/li><li><strong>Physical Nurturance<\/strong> (air, food, water, shelter)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re aware of your needs, express them out loud along with your feelings. For example, you could say, \u201cI\u2019m <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-stop-feeling-nervous\/\">feeling nervous<\/a> to tell you something because I need your acceptance\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m feeling exhausted because I need to rest.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expressing needs can be terrifying in a culture that actively discourages us from expressing vulnerability. Instead, we often express our needs indirectly by judging or diagnosing others (for example, instead of saying, \u201cI felt hurt when she yelled at me,\u201d we might say, \u201cShe\u2019s crazy\u201d). This can make people feel criticized or attacked, which puts them on the defensive and makes them even less likely to recognize and fulfill our needs. As uncomfortable as it may be, being open about our needs makes it easier for other people to respond to us positively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gender roles can make this kind of vulnerability even harder. The \u201cideal woman\u201d is the ultimate caretaker and sacrifices her own needs to meet those of others. For women, admitting to having any needs at all often feels like a failure. This is doubly true for women with partners or children, who are expected to give up their own needs the moment they become wives or mothers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stages of Emotional Liberation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When people begin to focus on identifying and expressing their feelings and needs the NVC way, they often pass through three stages: \u201cemotional slavery,\u201d \u201cthe obnoxious stage,\u201d and \u201cemotional liberation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In <strong>stage 1<\/strong> or \u201cemotional slavery,\u201d we feel responsible for other people\u2019s emotions and engage in \u201cpeople pleasing\u201d to keep everyone around us happy (often at our own expense). If we can\u2019t \u201cfix\u201d other people\u2019s negative emotions, it feels like a personal failure and creates overwhelming distress. To cope with that distress, we often put distance between ourselves and the other person by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/negative-labels\/\">labeling<\/a> them as \u201cneedy.\u201d<\/li><li>In <strong>stage 2<\/strong> or \u201cthe obnoxious stage,\u201d we\u2019re beginning to wake up to the reality that trying to meet everyone else\u2019s needs at the expense of our own is making us miserable. In this stage, we might overcompensate by adopting a \u201cnot my problem\u201d attitude and refusing to meet <em>any<\/em> needs of other people (hence the \u201cobnoxious\u201d label).&nbsp;<\/li><li>In <strong>stage 3 <\/strong>or \u201cemotional liberation,\u201d we\u2019re able to provide genuine care and empathy to others while still meeting our own needs. We take full responsibility for our own feelings and no longer feel responsible for the emotions of other people. Meeting our own needs first allows us to give to others purely out of compassion rather than guilt or obligation. In other words, focusing on ourselves first allows us to help others more wholeheartedly than if we prioritized their needs over our own.&nbsp;<ul><li>You can think of this as the emotional equivalent of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/aviation-safety\/\">airplane safety<\/a> demonstrations that emphasize putting your own oxygen mask on before assisting others. If you pass out from lack of oxygen (or burn out by not meeting your own needs in general), you won\u2019t be able to help anyone else.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are NVC feelings and needs?
