Summary
“Nonviolent Communication”
Your communication habits could lead to strained relationships and misunderstandings. Passing “moral judgments” on others can push them away. It's different from making “value judgments,” which is normal. Comparing people can hinder real communication, as can talking about what someone deserves or blaming others for your actions.
“Nonviolent Communication” (NVC) promotes “heartfelt” connection in tough situations. It helps you see your actions in a new light.
NVC consists of four parts:
- Observations
- Feelings
- Needs
- Requests
To use NVC, first, observe the situation. Then, express how you feel and what you need. If you make a request, be specific and ask for something tangible. Avoid asking for a change in attitude or abstract intentions.
NVC involves two “aspects.” One is expressing yourself honestly using the four components. The other is listening empathetically and working through the four parts with the other person. You can use NVC in personal relationships, business, and conflicts within groups or society.
