Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a way of communicating that strengthens our ability to stay in touch with our humanity and get our needs met, even under difficult circumstances. Instead of habitual responses, our words become conscious responses based on a clear awareness of what we are observing, feeling, and wanting. We are led to express ourselves with honesty and clarity, while paying respectful and empathic attention to others. Check out this brief intro video about NVC: </span><a href="http://youtu.be/a3zSNxE37OM" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(33,117,177);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">http://youtu.be/a3zSNxE37OM</span></a><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(85,85,85);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">. </span></p>
