Empathy Companion - NVC

Before you send a message in the heat of the moment — pause. Empathy Companion helps you turn judgments, blame and demands into words that build connection instead of escalating conflict, in the spirit of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

It's not a copy-paste shortcut — it's a draft you understand and refine before you send. You stay the author of your words.

THREE WAYS TO USE IT • Express yourself — turn a hard message into something you actually want to send. • Understand someone — paste what another person wrote to you, and Empathy Companion helps you hear what they might feel and need (the other half of NVC: empathic listening). • Appreciation — shape genuine thanks that truly lands, instead of an empty "you're the best".

HOW IT WORKS

1. Type or dictate your message.
2. Pick the recipient (partner, child, parent, friend, boss, coworker — or your own) and tone (neutral, tender, formal).
3. Get a message in "giraffe language" + an optional breakdown into the 4 NVC steps: observation, feeling, need, and a request that leaves room for a "no" (a request, not a demand).
4. Not quite right? Generate another version, or change tone and recipient. Then copy or share.

FOR LEARNERS AND PRACTITIONERS • Classic form (full 4 steps — great for learning) or short form (one natural sentence — once you know NVC). • Tutorial: giraffe language vs jackal language — without judgment (a jackal is just a giraffe having a hard time).

NVC DICTIONARIES — WORK OFFLINE • Feelings: pleasant (when needs are met) and difficult (when they're not). • Universal needs — what hides beneath every feeling. • Pseudo-feelings — see what "I feel ignored" really means (it's a judgment of someone's behavior, not a feeling) and how to turn it into a feeling + need.

MORE • Persistent context — describe your situation once (e.g. "I have two kids, I work shifts") and it's taken into account every time. • History with favorites — stored only on your device. • Fully available in English and Polish. • If a message signals a crisis, Empathy Companion offers a helpline contact instead of rewriting it.
