NVC is more than a set of steps for better communication. It is a paradigm shift that moves us away from blame and towards vulnerability. The tools of NVC give us the ability to meet ourselves with compassion. As we change how we talk to ourselves, we find ourselves capable of seeing the humanity in others. These tools have the capacity to create profound shifts on personal, relational, organizational and cultural levels.
My passion for learning ways to transform blame and shame into compassion led me become a Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication. NVC supports self-empathy and empathy towards others without sacrificing honesty and authentic expression.
NVC (Nonviolent Communication) shifts communication away from blame, criticism, and judgment.
NVC Principles:
Empathy: Understanding and respecting the experiences and feelings of others.
Self-Awareness: Deepening your understanding of your own feelings and needs.
Honest Expression: Expressing your authentic self vulnerably.
Meeting Needs: Seeking solutions that meet the needs of all parties involved.
Benefits of NVC:
Improves relationships:
Fosters deeper connection and understanding in all types of relationships.
Reduces conflict:
Helps to avoid misunderstandings and resolve disagreements peacefully.
Promotes self-awareness:
Allows individuals to take responsibility for their reactions and understand triggers.
Creates a compassionate atmosphere:
Leads to a quality of connection where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
“As we’ve seen, all criticism, attack, insults, and judgments vanish when we focus attention on hearing the feelings and needs behind a message. The more we practice in this way, the more we realize a simple truth: behind all those messages we’ve allowed ourselves to be intimidated by are just individuals with unmet needs appealing to us to contribute to their well-being.”
― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Founder of the Center for Nonviolent Communication
