Hearing past the words

Marshall Rosenberg has given me one of the greatest gifts I have ever received: the ability to hear past the spoken word to find the root - the underlying needs and feelings.
I used to run away from criticism and confrontation because I was only able to hear the judgements that were spoken. Marshall taught me to hear the unmet needs and feelings behind those judgements. And I now understand that all such judgements are tragic expressions of our unmet needs.
Now I can hear criticism for what it is - an opportunity to make life more wonderful for the other person.

Learning NVC and, more importantly, learning to see the world in terms of needs and feelings has transformed my relationships with strangers and loved ones alike. In fact, NVC shows how such a distinction is much less concrete than we think it is!

I am grateful to Marshall for his incredible and life changing work.

What a great way of transformation towards peace.

A very simple and basic approach to communicating with anyone and everyone! Helps to build/restore self-peace through recognizing our shared needs. These are the very needs that allow us to give empathy and spirtually connect!
