NVC Journaling

A self-empathy walk through what I feel and need, and what I imagine you feel and need.

This is a self-guided journaling tool — nothing you write here is sent anywhere or saved on any server. Everything stays on this page until you close or print it. The site assistant is available in the corner if you'd like to talk something through; nothing reaches it unless you bring it there yourself. Ported from an earlier self-guided NVC journaling tool, itself inspired by NYC NVC's self-empathy process. The feelings and needs lists below are fetched live from this library's own nvc-needs school, not hardcoded on this page — add a feeling there and it appears here.
