A sneakily helpful app

In just 5 minutes this app helped me work through a sad, difficult 3-party situation and help ground me with a healthy approach that brought me some relief. I even teared up sorting through the feelings cards and tagging applicable feelings!

Wildly Effective!

This App is an inviting and easeful way to address challenges that inevitably arise between people. I’ve worked in HR for over a decade and have mediated countless challenges between leaders - this app is highly effective and comprehensive for navigating tough situations. I’ve found it helps build empathy and understanding for the other person, and also helps develop self awareness through it’s thoughtful prompts.

Highly, highly recommend!

Helpful and supportive, simply wonderful

This app provides me with so much support for navigating the complexities of life as a peace loving human. I especially like the lists of feelings and needs as they help set me on the right path toward making good choices in challenging situations. I also like the ability to look back into situations I've concluded because they often have important information I can carry forward into today's challenges. It's a wonderful tool for learning to express myself in a clearer, more concise and true way that has consistently led to better communication.

I highly recommend this app!

Based in the international work of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the Empathy Set app is a beautifully simple yet powerful tool for developing a language of empathy with ourselves and others. Feelings and needs words are offered in the form of digital cards as well as lists, and are organized in different ways that support optimal usability. You can choose shuffle, alphabetical, and thematic presentation of the words, as well as different sizes of the digital card deck or list of words to choose from. You start with a particular situation and end with potential solution ideas. At the core is the power of a 3.0 version of the classic “I-statement” - “I feel ___ because of needs I have for ___ .” This app is a wonderful example of how technology can support the empathic connection and cooperation we humans need to create success and happiness in our own lives and work and a healthy, collaborative, and sustainable world. - John Kinyon

Fantastic communication tool

I absolutely love this App. I was able to use them with my son with Down Syndrome to work through a situation that had arisen at his school recently. After going through all the feelings cards, we were able to narrow them down to 8 feelings shown in the image below, that really helped me to understand what was going on with him at the time. HIGHLY recommend these as a tool to improve communication!
