What is Nonviolent Communication?
Nonviolent Communication is a method of interpersonal dialogue designed to foster empathy, clarity, and compassionate connection. Developed by American psychologist Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg in the 1960s, it guides people to express their truth honestly while listening with empathy, even during conflict.
The approach emphasizes honoring universal human needs. The term "nonviolent" intentionally highlights how violence begins in language through judgment, blame, shame, and dismissal.
NVC anchors this commitment in Gandhi's concept of ahimsa (non-harm in thought, word, and deed).
The Four Components of NVC
NVC uses a four-part structure to help us connect with ourselves and others.
Observations
Naming what we see or hear without judgment
Feelings
Connecting with and expressing emotional responses
Needs
Identifying underlying values and desires
Requests
Making clear, actionable invitations to enrich life
Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg
Founder of Nonviolent Communication
"Love is not just something we feel, but something we manifest, something we give. It's a gift when you reveal yourself vulnerably."— Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg
Rosenberg envisioned NVC as a "language of life" that liberates rather than dominates. His work was influenced by Carl Rogers and evolved into a global movement supported by the Center for Nonviolent Communication.
