CDs & DVDs by Sylvia Haskvitz:

Sherlock Holmes of the Heart; Finding Words to Express What is in Harmony with Your Heart
description: I am excited to launch this CD to the world. I began this project many years ago in book form called, Finding the "Right" Words. I was wanting to meet the need I perceived in people to be able to express their truth in a way people would find joy in responding to. The book transformed into a tape when one of my students asked me to make a tape of sample situations. To add to the authenticity of the tape, I asked workshop participants to send me sample scenarios from their lives to respond to using the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process.
This cd is a first take response to these situations and is designed for people wanting to incorporate Nonviolent Communication skills into their everyday interactions. These sample scenarios will give you possible expressions for what you would like to say using this process. Examples include: How to respond to your tennis buddy who grunts, What to say when what you want is to kill your mom, How to end a relationship with compassion.
what people are saying:
"This is just what I was looking for"
"There needs to be one in every household"
"I can listen again and again and learn so much"
"I want more for my entire family"
price: $15 each, shipping/handling: $5.00 for one and $1.00 each additional
cd length: 70 minutes
