“Today I share about my addiction and recovery journey as often as possible because I don't want to die all alone in a dark closet, shrouded in shame beside the decomposing skeletons I tried so desperately to hide. I want to live.”
Shannon Egan, No Tourists Allowed: Seeking Inner Peace and Sobriety in War-Torn Sudan

“He believed that all human beings had the capacity for compassion and only resorted to violence or passive aggressive communication, a form of psychological violence, when they lacked effective strategies for meeting their needs. Since all human needs are universal they’re never in conflict with one another. Therefore, conflict only arises when the strategies for meeting needs clashed. Rosenberg”
Shannon Egan, No Tourists Allowed: Seeking Inner Peace and Sobriety in War-Torn Sudan

“Nonviolent Communication was a process developed by Marshall Rosenberg in the 1960s and focused on self-empathy, empathy for others, and honest self-expression. The overall intention was to inspire compassion in others while expressing individual needs and making specific requests to meet those needs.”
