In the 1960s, psychologist Marshall B. Rosenberg developed the concept of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a communication method designed to reduce misunderstandings and conflicts and promote a respectful, peaceful coexistence.
The approach emphasizes communication that is free of evaluations, judgments, accusations, and insults. Instead, it encourages recognizing and expressing one’s own feelings and needs, and empathetically listening to understand the feelings and needs of others.
In his book, Rosenberg describes the method in great detail, using numerous real-life conversational situations from various aspects of life. The book is easy to read and recommended for anyone looking to improve their communication skills and create connections based on empathy and mutual understanding.
However, learning the method from the book alone may be challenging. Especially in heated situations, it may be difficult to apply what you have read without intensive training. If you’re interested in training, simply search the internet for NVC seminars near you.
