Nonviolent Communication Practice 2023

In each session, we will introduce one of the main aspects of NB using various practical tasks. Topics will include identifying needs; connections between feelings and thoughts; recognizing habitual thinking; separation of assessments and observations; transforming accusations into needs and strategies; formulating effective requests, respectful self-expression, empathic listening and self-empathy; saying no and hearing no with regret; gratitude and praise. We will explain how to distinguish between nonviolent communication and conventional thinking, using it to create a better connection with yourself and others.

These teachings can provide more strength in complex relationships, more understanding of the importance of feelings and needs and how we communicate them; as well as how my capabilities can contribute to a more peaceful, mature relationship and a happier life. The results will also depend on your willingness and willingness to open your heart to this learning experience.
