Also this particular strength has allowed…

While researching Non violent communication I found a pdf that really helped. It is located here, it gave some examples of statements to use and clearly outlined the four step process.

According to Zastrow, these eight skills include: engaging clients in a working relationship, identifying the issues, problems needs and resources, collecting information, planning for services, using their communication skills, implementing interventions, apply knowledge, and evaluating the outcomes of everything that they do (2010, p. 67).
