Communication Matters: Needs and how to get in touch with some of yours

When we are using Nonviolent Communication (NVC), we have the intention to create a quality of connection between people that will lead to everybody’s needs being met nonviolently. How does awareness of Needs as we understand them in NVC support this intention? How do we find our needs?
