"Need" is the word we use in [[NVC]] for what's deeply alive in us at any moment in time. We also call them values. Whatever we call them, we are looking for something:

* positive - something we are happy for the other person to have satisfied, even if we don't like the strategy they've been using to get it.

* abstract - not attached to any particular person, place or thing (then it would be a strategy)

* universal - all people share the same needs.

==How to identify needs==

* Identify what [[feeling]]s are present, this often is a signal to what need is most present. For example, if someone feels confused, they may be needing more clarity.

* Think about a similar situation you've been in - what need was alive in you then?

* Reflect on the content of thoughts. For example, if someone says "You're so selfish!" or "You only care about yourself" they may be wanting more consideration.

* Look at the needs list in the Nonviolent Communication book or online here: http://www.cnvc.org/needs.htm
