Non Violent Communication (NVC)

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a communication framework developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg. It aims to facilitate compassionate communication and conflict resolution by emphasizing empathy, active listening, and expressing feelings and needs without blame or judgment. In short, NVC involves:

  4. Request: Making a clear, positive request that addresses those needs.

NVC encourages individuals to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and connection, rather than defensiveness or conflict.
