What is Nonviolent Communication?
'NVC' is a process of communication developed by Marshall Rosenberg in the Civil Rights era in the 1960s as he searched for a way to help people live in peace, learn how to communicate with respect, compassion and honesty, and enjoy life.
NVC helps people to:
- Ensure everyone's needs are met peacefully
- Resolve conflicts without blame or judgement
- Be honest without insulting people
- Be fully present with people in distress
- Communicate compassionately
NVC transforms:
- Blame ("It's your fault....")
- Criticism ("That's just not good enough")
- Labels (lazy, hopeless, mean)
- Insults ("You stupid idiot")
- Threats ("If you don't....I'm going to")
- Guilt, depression, anger and shame into clear, effective, compassionate communication.
