What is NVC?
Communication from the heart
Developed by Marshall Rosenberg, PhD, Nonviolent Communication is based on the idea that we all have the same human needs, and when we meet those needs in ways that work for everyone, connection and compassion naturally follow.
It’s about
connection
At its core, NVC helps us connect with ourselves and others more authentically.
It’s practical
A clear, learnable process that helps us express ourselves and listen deeply.
It honours
everyone’s needs
NVC recognizes that all needs matter and seeks solutions that work for all.
It builds
better relationships
More understanding, less conflict and stronger relationships over time.
How NVC helps couples
From disconnection
to understanding
When stress, hurt or disagreement take over, it’s easy to blame, shut down or say things we regret. NVC gives you the tools to:
- Express what you really mean, without blame
- Listen with empathy, even when it’s hard
- Understand the needs beneath the emotions
- Find solutions and make requests that work for both
When we are no longer able to change a situation,
we are challenged to change ourselves.
