NVC (Nonviolent Communication) is a communication framework developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg. It is focused on bringing up
compassionate communication and understanding among individuals and groups.
- Observation: The practice of describing a situation or behavior without judgment or evaluation. An observation is a factual statement that is objective and can be verified by others.
Feelings: Identifying and expressing emotions without blaming or criticizing oneself or others. Feelings are personal and subjective experiences that can be positive, negative, or neutral.
Needs: The universal human needs that motivate our behaviors and actions. Needs are not the same as wants or preferences; they are deeper and more fundamental desires that all humans share.
Requests: Asking for what we want or need in a clear and respectful way, without demanding or coercing others. Requests are specific and actionable, and they can be made with the understanding that the other person has the freedom to say no.
Empathy: The ability to understand and connect with the feelings and needs of others. Empathy involves active listening, curiosity, and a willingness to suspend judgment and see the world from another person’s perspective.
Connection: A sense of mutual understanding, respect, and trust that comes from authentic communication and empathy. Connection is a core value of NVC and is seen as essential for healthy relationships and communities.

8. Jackal: represents the critical, judgmental mode. It is the part of us that is quick to judge others and ourselves and tends to communicate in ways that create conflict and disconnection.
9. Mourning: it is an essential part of the healing process and allows individuals to come to terms with their loss, adjust to a new reality, and ultimately find a sense of acceptance and meaning.
10. Celebration: a sense of togetherness, creating and recognizing, and appreciating small milestones or achievements. It provides an opportunity for individuals or communities to express joy, gratitude and a sense of accomplishment.
11. Inner Educator: it is a metaphor used to represent the part of us that is committed to learning and growth. It is the part of us that seeks to understand our own feelings and needs, as well as the feelings and needs of others.
12. Chooser: it is a metaphor used to represent the part of us that is responsible for making conscious choices and decisions. It is the part of us that takes responsibility for our own lives and actions and seeks to make choices that align with our values and needs.
13: Power with: It is a concept that emphasizes collaborative and cooperative approaches to
power and decision-making. It contrasts with the idea of “power over,”
which involves hierarchical structures and control.
