Key concepts from Nonviolent Communication (NVC) that Violet helps you master.
Observation: Stating facts without judgment (e.g., "You arrived at 10:15").
Evaluation: Mixing fact with judgment (e.g., "You are always late").
Violet's "Observation Arena" trains you to spot the difference.
True Feeling: An emotional sensation (e.g., "I feel sad").
Faux Feeling: A thought implying blame (e.g., "I feel ignored" implies "You ignored me").
Violet's "Feelings Arena" helps you identify and name true emotions.
Need: Universal human requirement (e.g., "Connection"). Needs never conflict.
Strategy: Specific action to meet a need (e.g., "Date night"). Strategies can conflict.
Violet's "Atlas" feature maps your feelings to their underlying needs.
The universal vocabulary of feelings and needs that powers Violet's AI.
Acceptance, Belonging, Compassion, Empathy, Inclusion, Intimacy, Love, Respect, Safety, Trust, Warmth.
Choice, Freedom, Independence, Purpose, Growth, Contribution, Clarity, Competence, Creativity.

Violet's AI is trained on these structured datasets to help you identify exactly what's alive in you.
Real people, real relationships, real transformation.
"After 15 years of marriage, I thought I knew how to communicate. Violet showed me I was just talking, not connecting. Our relationship has never been stronger."
"As a team lead, I was dreading difficult conversations. Now I look forward to them. The practice arenas gave me confidence I never had."
"My teenage daughter and I were barely speaking. Violet taught me to listen for what she actually needs. We're closer than ever."

Most communication methods focus on who is right. Violet focuses on whose needs are unmet. This shifts the conversation from a power struggle to a collaborative puzzle.
