What you gain
Below are some of the most common benefits deriving from Nonviolent Communication:
Clarity and energy
Upon completion of a Nonviolent Communication activity, people gain renewed vital energy. They have an impression of being disburdened, of coming out of a fog. "Light at last! I now see the way forward."
Regaining contact with oneself
Nonviolent Communication allows us to gain more acute awareness of ourselves. "I have feelings, needs, and I'm rediscovering my body."
Consciousness of one's body
Although Nonviolent Communication is centred on language, it leads to heightened awareness of our bodies. We learn to feel our sensations: a tight throat, hands clenched, pain in the nape of the neck ... The path through one's body is the shortest route to one's feelings.
Humanity in us all
NVC allows us to connect to the humanness in others that we have become blind to. Through the practice of NVC, we rediscover likenesses in others whereas before we only saw differences. it is from there that an openness to the relationship with another person becomes possible.
