Words matter: have you got the right vocabulary to describe what you are feeling?

Deep down, all humans have the same needs. And these needs can be fulfilled or not. Some of these needs according to the CNVC are:

CONNECTION,
PHYSICAL WELL-BEING
HONESTY
PLAY
PEACE
AUTONOMY
MEANING

So, the feelings that arise in us will be different when our needs are being met or when our needs are not being met. Check out this feeling inventory they’ve CNVC created.

As we discussed in our episode on Emotional Literacy, having a wide range of words to describe what you are feeling as close as possible, is key to expressing them to others and connect.

In other words, these are the building blocks to become more literate and build bridges with others.
