Sitting with not knowing is an NVC skill because its the opposite of reactivity. In our haste to find relief from the discomfort of not knowing, we often become defensive, jump to conclusions, and blame and criticize others.

NVC provides a way forward to enter into a space of wonder, possibility, and creativity.
