Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a method of communication developed by Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. NVC is founded on the belief that if individuals can recognize and express their own needs, as well as the needs of others, conflicts can be resolved. Often used in couples counseling, NVC helps people to settle disagreements and resolve their differences. NVC places a strong emphasis on fostering compassion, empathy and honesty and focuses on facilitating peaceful dialogue between disputing parties.
