When I began learning NVC I was barely able to express my emotions. I was good with thoughts, analysing and logic. In the first two years I was learning NVC, I would often run into these stuck, tight places, where my throat would tighten up, I would cry and I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t express my emotions, even though I wanted to. I discovered that the emotion I was feeling, that was making me frozen and unable to speak, was shame. Since then I have worked a lot on the different shame patterns I have discovered within myself. After 2 more years I noticed that I was able to cry in front of other people and express my emotions without being violently gripped by shame. Last year I even discovered that I can be vulnerable in a conversation with my “mother-in-law” now.
