About this course
Expressions of judgment, blame, anger, disappointment, aggression, denial - many of us have experienced or used them in social interactions. It is likely that our needs are not met through hurtful exchanges, which eventually leads to further conflict. If you are interested in overcoming these negative tendencies and would like to learn how to resolve conflict situations in a peaceful manner, this course is for you. You will be introduced to the method of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a pragmatic approach designed to help people connect more compassionately with themselves and others. The method was developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg and is rooted in humanistic psychology as well as the Hindu principle of nonviolence (ahimsa). It has been used to effectively settle conflicts and disputes at all levels of society, such as personal relationships, the workplace, and international peace negotiations. With practice, the tool of NVC will help you reframe how you express yourselves and how you hear others by focusing your consciousness on what you are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting. Ultimately, the skills you will acquire in this course should contribute to personal growth, greater self-awareness, and stronger professional and personal relationships.
