At least you admit NVC is about empowering the NVC user, not something done for the benefit of the NVC receiver.

- klodolph 7y agoDon’t misinterpret my words. But, OF COURSE nonviolent communication empowers the speaker. It’s about articulating the SPEAKER’S observations, feelings, needs, and recommendations and putting them in an order where you can understand the context. If you don’t communicate your feelings to other people, they will find it difficult to empathize with you.
- catalogia 7y agoThe receiver empathizing with the user is not considered by users of NVC as an end in and of itself, but rather a means towards an end. The real objective is getting something from them other than their empathy.
- joshuamorton 7y agoYes, but that's true of any conflict resolution framework. The goal of using NVC isn't to get your way, it's to achieve a mutual understanding. What you do with that understanding is left to the reader.
