Summary

edit

NVC can dramatically improve communication, and thereby relationships, by helping to focus attention on:

  1. Empathic understanding of others without compromising our own values, and
  2. Expressing authentic needs openly and honestly, without blame or criticism.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) means learning to:

  • Build relationships based on compassion and understanding
  • Accurately understand other people’s feelings and needs
  • Be assertive and negotiable at the same time
  • Break patterns of thinking that lead to anger and depression
