Understanding Nonviolent Communication
Nonviolent communication consists of four essential components that facilitate effective and respectful dialogue. It emphasizes making observations without judgment, expressing feelings authentically, identifying personal needs, and making clear requests. Originating from Dr. Marshall Rosenberg in the 1960s, the method aims to resolve conflicts by fostering understanding and collaboration, even in challenging environments like war-torn areas. For example, a simple interaction on a bus can illustrate this by turning a potentially confrontational request into a nonjudgmental statement about one's own needs.
