Nonviolent Communication Skills and Mental Health | |
|
 |
|
|
NVC warns us about the cost of diagnosing others. NVC is not against valid medical diagnoses. However, when we tell ourselves a story about what somebody is or what somebody is experiencing — essentially diagnosing them — that can automatically get in the way of the high quality of connection for which NVC aims. |

Avoid Divorce with NVC | |
|
 |
|
|
Marshall Rosenberg was a walking demonstration of Empathy and meeting him the first time, I realized that I could become that, too. I reasoned that if I became a master of Empathy myself, that I could calm all the angry people I knew. I understood that if I had learned NVC sooner, I would have been prepared and possibly spared from the life-threatening divorce I had endured because my husband’s doctor made a crucial error in medications. As I listened to Marshall, I saw that it had been the skills that I had possessed at the time that had saved my life and I discovered exactly what I had done that worked and what I could have done so much better if I had mastered NVC... |

Peace Profile: Marshall Rosenberg | |
|
Seldom does one find a communication approach for nurturing peaceful relations that is also seamlessly packaged with teachable skills. Such is the global legacy that the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg (1934–2015) has achieved through his creation and teaching of the methods of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC, which is sometimes called “compassionate communication,” the “language of life,” or “giraffe language,” offers the kind of resourcefulness required for self-expression in a way that supports empathy both for oneself and for others... |

Parenting without Obedience: A Preliminary Guide to Intergenerational Collaboration | |
|
When my son was three-and-a-half years old, one set of his grandparents visited us and slept in a downstairs room. At about 8am, my son started banging a pole on the floor upstairs. I told him that I was worried the banging would wake them up and that I would like them to be able to rest as long as they wanted, and asked if he was willing to stop banging or to bang on the couch. He replied: “I don’t want to, but I’m willing.” I asked, “How come you don’t want to?” He replied: “Because it’s not waking me up!” Then I asked, “So how come you’re willing?” He said: “Because I want to consider you.” |

Inspirational and Meaningful Songs! | |

What impact does music have on society? Music has the power to culturally, morally, and emotionally influence our society. Thus, the more intentional we become with the sounds, messages, and moods we create and release through our music, the more powerful we will become in making deep positive impacts. |
