What is “violent” communication?

If the word “violent” means hurtful or hurtful behavior, then most of the ways we communicate are judging others, bullying, racial prejudice, blaming, finger-pointing, discrimination, talking down, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, angry reactions, political rhetoric the use, the evaluation of what is good or bad, right or wrong – we could indeed call it violent communication.

What is nonviolent communication?

Nonviolent communication involves four things:

• Unconsciousness: Principles for Living Compassionately, Collaboratively, Courageously, and Authentically;
• Language: the perception of how words bring closer or further away;
• Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to listen to others even if we disagree, and how to work towards solutions that work for everyone;
• Means of influence: sharing power with others, not using power against others.

Nonviolent communication helps us accomplish three things:

• Cultivate the ability to live a life where we can make choices, see meaning and feel connected;
• Build an empathetic connection with yourself and others for more fulfilling relationships;
• Share resources so everyone can benefit.
