A Language of Life (Non Violent Communication)

Nonviolent Communication (NVC): A Language of Life
 

NVC is a communication model developed by clinical psychologist Marshall Rosenberg. It is designed to foster connection and understanding by encouraging peaceful, honest, and precise self-expression, while also cultivating empathy and understanding when listening to others.
 

NVC is founded on the belief that compassion is a natural part of human nature. It recognizes that verbal or physical forms of violence are learned behaviours shaped and reinforced by the dominant culture.


A core principle of NVC is the shared understanding that all humans have the same basic needs and that every action we take is an attempt to meet one or more of those needs.


Those who embrace the Language of Life often experience greater authenticity in their interactions, deeper understanding, stronger connections, and more effective conflict resolution.
