Rosenberg, Ph.D. What is Nonviolent Communication? Imagine connecting with the human spirit, in each person, in any situation. Imagine interacting with others in a way that allows everyone's needs to be equally valued. Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps connect us with what is alive in ourselves and in others moment-to-moment, with what we or others could do to make life more wonderful, and with an awareness of what gets in the way of natural giving and receiving. NVC language strengthens our ability to inspire compassion from others and respond compassionately to others and ourselves.
Nonviolent Communication language: It awakens empathy and honesty, and is sometimes described as the language of the heart.
