Compassionate Communication

---

Our words hold immense power.  Enhancing awareness around what we chose to speak and how can be the difference between deeply nourishing intimacy and connection, or destruction and great loss.  We all know the pain and remorse of going with impulses and expression that disconnects.

Since coming across the work of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication 10 years ago, I cannot help but draw on it in all my work and relationships.  It has be an absolute game changer!

NVC is a simple 4 step process, that transforms the way we relate inwardly and to others.  We learn how to more deeply understand and take responsibility for our experience; communicate this experience in a way that is more likely to be heard by another; and speak up for our needs in a way that empowers and frees our relationships.

A great summary can be found here at Deepak Chopra's website or for further resources direct from the source visit the Compassionate Communication (CNVC) website. 

Currently I offer coaching in integrating NVC into parenting and relationships via private sessions.
