RE: NVC 2: Down the Rabbit Hole we Go! Don't praise! Show APPRECIATION instead!

Well, this is new to me, I didn't think or know that expressing gratitude by associating certain qualities to people isn't that pleasant. However, I think you're right. These qualities can be fleeting as expressing appreciation by telling people how impactful they've been to us is more favourable. We're used to telling people what they're not just to make them feel good, this is absolutely right.
