Non-Violent Communication Tool

This tool helps map evaluative words for emotions to describe emotions and then helps map them to the unmet universal need that I may be having.

This tool is built on the principle that emotions and feelings are the way that our body physically expresses that we aren't meeting our human needs. E.g. Sadness can be felt when feeling disconnected. The underlying need that they body is communicating is a need for connection.
