Non­vio­lent Communication

Non­vio­lent Com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on (NVC) is a com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on approach that assu­mes that all peo­p­le, regard­less of age, gen­der, cul­tu­re and reli­gi­on, share the same needs and that unmet needs are always behind con­flicts and vio­lence [I think you have an extra com­ma after unab­hän­gig]. NVC can be used to resol­ve any type of con­flict. The pri­ma­ry focus is on iden­ti­fy­ing the needs of both par­ties and then fin­ding ways to meet tho­se needs.

The four com­pon­ents of NVC

The fol­lo­wing com­pon­ents are used in non­vio­lent communication:

  1. Obser­va­tions: The first com­po­nent of NVC requi­res sepa­ra­ting obser­va­ti­on from eva­lua­ti­on. The­se two terms are often con­fu­sed, which only leads to more con­flicts. The situa­ti­on should the­r­e­fo­re be descri­bed wit­hout eva­lua­ting or inter­pre­ting it.
  2. Fee­lings: The second com­po­nent of NVC includes the fee­lings we need to com­mu­ni­ca­te. The­se must first be per­cei­ved, then expressed.
  3. Needs: The third com­po­nent of NVC is reco­gni­zing and accep­ting the needs behind one’s fee­lings. Here we find out what is nee­ded. You take respon­si­bi­li­ty for your own fee­lings, which must be prac­ti­ced and learned.
  4. Requests: The fourth com­po­nent of NVC deals with the ques­ti­on of what we would like to ask of one ano­ther in order to impro­ve the qua­li­ty of life of each individual.

NVC is a won­derful method that can be used at work or when deal­ing with life part­ners, fri­ends, and fami­ly. Once lear­ned and used regu­lar­ly, it beco­mes a valuable resour­ce that can be hel­pful throug­hout life to have respectful inter­ac­tions with others. I use the­se and other com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on methods in my prac­ti­ce and am always hap­py to give my cli­ents the­se tools.
