Rosenberg's 4-Step Process

Rosenberg’s 4-Step Process is a method for effective communication and conflict resolution. It encourages expressing your feelings and needs honestly while listening empathetically to others. The steps are: First, observe the situation without judgment. Second, identify your feelings about what’s happening. Third, express your needs or what you require. Fourth, listen to the other person’s feelings and needs. This approach fosters understanding, reduces misunderstandings, and helps build connections by focusing on honest expression and empathetic listening, making conversations more respectful and constructive even during disagreements.
