Why We Struggle to Feel Heard

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling unheard?

Maybe you tried to express your feelings, but instead of understanding, you got defensiveness. Or maybe you held back because you didn’t want to “start something.”

You’re not alone.

Most of us were never taught how to communicate in a way that fosters true understanding. Instead, we learned to defend, justify, shut down, or people-please. Over time, we start believing things like:

💭 “They never listen to me.”
💭 “If I say how I feel, I’ll just make things worse.”
💭 “No one really gets me.”

But what if I told you that being heard isn’t about getting others to listen—it’s about learning how to express yourself in a way that invites connection?

That’s what The Compassion Project: The Language of Love is all about.

Over 10 weeks, I’ll guide you through the practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a simple yet life-changing approach to expressing yourself clearly, listening without judgment, and transforming relationships.

It starts with understanding the four key steps to compassionate communication.
