Expressing honestly, in Nonviolent Communication, is another way of saying "speaking from the heart". With NVC, there is a [[Four part model]] to help one do this.

No one else has written here, so I am going to go and write something *myself*, god-dammit!!
Expressing honestly, in Nonviolent Communication, is another way of saying "speaking from the heart". With NVC, there is a Four part model to help one do this. This is the old four-step Observation, Feelings, Needs, Requests gag applied here. So, to translate my first sentence above into an NVC means of expressing honestly, it would read as:
"When I notice that no one has written something for the "expressing honestly" entry [that's the observation] I feel annoyed and frustrated [that's the feeling] because I am wanting some consistency and completeness[that's the needs], so I am going to go and write something myself [that's the request, made to myself in this case]"
It is recommended that when honest expression is being done, that is always end with a request of some sort. This is to help to avoid "dumping on" people, instead providing a means through which others can take in and respond to what was said, thereby hopefully further movement would come about in that issue.

Hey PE, your contribution meets my needs for collaboration. Note that I've added the code to make your reference to the 4-part model a live link to that page just by using the title of that page in double square brackets (you can see them in Edit mode). You've inspired me to do a little structural work on that page so you can link to the individual parts of OFNR too. -jw4nvc
