Nonviolent CommunicationSM (NVC) is a unique approach to communicating - thinking, speaking and listening - which guides us in transforming painful patterns of relating into new, compassionate ways of acting, expressing ourselves and hearing others. Developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, this practical and proven process has been used around the world in war-torn countries; in schools, prisons, corporations, social change, health care and government institutions; and in intimate personal relationships.
