Testimonials I have been an NVC trainer candidate for three years and have both offered and received telephone empathy from Craig on a weekly basis. We first met in a practice group a year ago. Ever since, his commitment and learning have grown. I have appreciated his presence with difficult issues and willingness to go into unfamiliar territory without losing connection, interest, and the ability to offer empathy. With Craig, I have been able to explore some issues that have escaped me before. I detect in Craig a deep earnestness in wanting to walk his talk and in finding new ways to expand his experience, knowledge and commitment to facilitating others in their pain and their growth. It has been a pleasure anticipating our regularly appointed phone connection!

Massachusetts For as long as I can remember, I’ve been striving for greater mindfulness in my relationships. I want to be able to connect with people on a deep level rather than just report the events of my life and passively listen as others reciprocate by reporting the events of theirs. Despite the earnestness of this desire, I often find myself triggered into anger, resentment, or worse, fear and unworthiness. Then Craig introduced me to Nonviolent Communication and the empathy buddy process, and I find myself empowered and able to live mindfully more than ever before. I now know to search for the roots of anger and resentment in my own unmet needs and then to explore how my friendships with others serve me as strategies to meet my needs and their own. I feel as if a whole new world has opened up to me where I can feel more authentic and present. I find myself reaching out and mending the little hurts I’ve created for myself by being unable to express my feelings and needs to those I love. Just so happens that the people who trigger me the most happen to be those closest to me, so the empathy buddy process gives me greater and greater ability to see the emotional triggers as they arise and be able to relate to others from a place of expanded awareness and acceptance. Thank you Craig for helping me find this way of mindfulness, empowerment, and connection. Anna-Maria Petricelli, Los Angeles, California |
