Nonviolent Communication places empathetic connection at the center, recognizing that human needs are interdependent and that conflict can become an opportunity for genuine encounter. Moving beyond judgment and speaking through feelings and needs opens relationships grounded in trust, listening, and voluntary cooperation.

When we communicate with someone we love, we rarely mean to cause pain.
Welcome your partner’s expressions (and encourage them to welcome yours) with the intention of building a shared, personal, and intimate language together.
