Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

Knowledge

NVC distinguishes observations, feelings, needs, and requests while encouraging empathic receiving. It helps examine conflict without confusing interpretations with facts or polite demands with genuine choice. Power, safety, and structural conditions still require attention; a four-part formula does not guarantee resolution or ethical conduct.
