Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication (NVC), created by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, is an approach to relationships that views feelings and needs as the basic drivers of all human behavior. It encourages us to move away from automatic patterns of behavior to get what we want and instead connect first on the level of feelings and needs. Connecting in this way can open us up to new options and enable us to act in ways that will better meet everyone’s needs, as well as build more harmonious relationships.
