Nonviolent Communication
aka NVC or Compassionate Communication
Nonviolent Communicationsm (NVC) is a process that strengthens our ability
to inspire compassion from others and respond compassionately to others and
ourselves. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves and how we hear
others by focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling,
needing, and requesting. It is a language of empathy and honesty, and is
sometimes described as "the language of the heart."
Nonviolent Communication can dramatically improve relationships by helping
people focus their attention on empathetic understanding of others without
compromising their own values. It gives people tools to express their real
feelings and needs openly and honestly, yet without blame or criticism. Even
in situations of long-standing conflict or hostility, the NVC process can
open new doors to compassionate connection and action.
