New Title! - The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes
Now 50% off retail with code NOV23 A comprehensive collection, The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes by NVC founder Marshall B. Rosenberg draws not only from other books and interviews, but also from the internet and previously unpublished workshops. It illuminates his revolutionary four-part Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process and shows the myriad ways NVC makes life more wonderful through the joy of compassionate giving. This essential compilation invites us to transform our lives, our work,
our world.
What People are Saying “This book is an absolute gem! “Marshall’s voice is loud and clear. Organized by topics, this book offers us a way into the heart of Marshall’s teachings. “It dispels any doubt about NVC being a way of life, more than a system of communication. And it clarifies that NVC is a spirituality that inclines toward social change for the benefit of all. “Brilliant.” —STEPHANIE BACHMANN MATTEI, coauthor of The Heart of Nonviolent Communication, certified trainer and assessor with CNVC, and certified teacher in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
First Generation NVCers Invite You to Gather - November 8
All certified trainers, candidates and friends of NVC are welcome. They will share quotes from the recent book, The Nonviolent Communication Book of Quotes which Julie Stiles compiled. These quotes are from

Nonviolent Communication and Trauma |
Trauma is something humans have been able to understand much more deeply and extensively only in recent decades. Simply put, trauma is stress that
overwhelmed your nervous system’s capacity to integrate or assimilate the stress at the time. Because it’s not fully processed, this trauma remains in your nervous system — often unperceived — and its existence can come out in a wide variety of confusing and disquieting ways. Because it exists at the level of the nervous system, it’s usually
invisible to others. Because it resides in the nervous system, trauma exists largely as a pre-verbal phenomenon. In other words, it’s very hard to access using language. Because of this it is often addressed somatically (at the level of the physical body), appealing to the body’s ability to heal and self-regulate. There are different kinds of trauma, including trauma provoked by a single event, trauma from repeated and ongoing exposure to the traumatizing stimuli, and trauma passed down the generations.

DOGS Angels in disguise. Best friends forever. Couch potato companions Devoted family members. Eager to be adopted. Faithful and forgiving. Give love, then give more. Hate being left behind. Innocent even when “guilty.” Jump for joy and treats. Kinda rescue you. Live for Bark-B-Q’s. Make a house a
home. Never leave your side. One is rarely enough. Poetry in motion. Quick to protect you. Rub often for best results. Savor meals gulp by gulp. Take you for walks. Uncanny healers. Very good listeners. Wag tails, not tongues. Xcited to see you 24/7. Young at heart. Zig zag between zoomies. © Meiji Stewart |
WE ARE ENORMOUSLY powerful, we human beings. Every moment, we have this possibility to enrich life. And there’s nothing, I find, that people throughout the world enjoy doing more than using this power in the service of life. Marshall Rosenberg |

I wouldn’t expect someone who’s been injured to hear my side until they felt that I had fully understood the depth of their pain. Marshall Rosenberg |

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. —Charlotte Brontë
Stimulus or Cause Violence is a result of thinking that others caused our pain and deserve to be punished. When living from this consciousness, we believe that our anger is justified. Consider road rage. A driver who engages in it believes that the other person is driving badly or is trying to tick him off, so he tailgates, makes hand gestures, or worse yet, shoots at them. He often feels justified in his anger. Two weeks before, however, he may have driven down that same road in the same traffic but didn’t behave violently. Why? Maybe because he had an easier day at work, or left work earlier and had more time
to get home, or it was his anniversary and he was excited about the evening ahead. The stimulus was the same—traffic on a particular road—but his feelings were quite different depending on his needs. The cause of our feelings is our own needs in the moment. What happens is simply the stimulus. In order to maintain serenity in our life, it
is important to understand this distinction. Be aware today of times when you are tempted to blame other people for your feelings, and try to discover your unmet needs. |
