NVC – avoiding communication that blocks compassion

from Crafting Solutions to Conflict Hosted by Jane Beddall

Dr. Marshall Rosenberg developed the concept of Nonviolent Communication – or NVC. His book, Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life, begins with this quote, capturing the fundamental premise of NVC: “What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.” Specific forms of language are identified as alienating us from our natural state of compassion, including moralistic judgments, making comparisons, and denying responsibility.
