Empathic Times 1/2023: Tomorrow, tomorrow – just not today...

Issue 34 of Empathische Zeit, the world's only NVC magazine, is all about putting things off: ‘Morgen, morgen, nur nicht heute ...’. What many people simply call putting things off is known to specialists as procrastination, the sometimes self-defeating postponement of important tasks. Across 72 pages, Dr Stephanie Schnichels, Marina Stege, Volkmar Richter, Melanie Lentes, Monika Adamczyk, Jemima Klages, Cynthia Philebrunn and Uwe Heyer, among others, approach the subject from very different directions.

Alongside the main theme, you will find a vision of what could happen after the war in Ukraine ends, an article about why a yes can also be a no, and the eleventh part of the series ‘Die schönsten Irrtümer über die GFK’ with a downloadable worksheet. There are also activities from the NVC networks and news for trainers.

Al Weckert writes movingly about interpreting dreams on the basis of your own beliefs, and you can read a report on the seventh ‘First Call For Children’ workshop in Ruhpolding. We thank Kirsten Glatzer and our Art Director Michael von Hartz for proofreading and designing this issue.
