Classification of Needs
One of the unique features of the Deck of Needs, is that there is a classification behind it. On this page we will show you, how you can use this to find and listen to (your) needs at a deeper level.
Misery loves company
Unfulfilled needs are often related to other unfulfilled needs. It's our experience, that when we use the Deck of Needs to find someone's core message, people often take cards from the same colour. Understanding what these colours stand for, will help you to better understand the speaker and increase the level of being heard.
You can't have it all
Everything we do, is an attempt to fulfil one or more of our needs." (core thoughtline of NVC). Often the reason why needs are insufficiently fulfilled is that people are trying to ensure that other needs remain to be fulfilled. This is true for the things we do AND for the things we don't do.
