Nonviolent Communication Practice: Communication That Blocks Compassion

Nonviolent Communication: Communication That Blocks Compassion

It is inherent in our nature to both give and receive compassion. Yet, societal conditioning has often ingrained in us various forms of communication that serve to alienate us from one another, causing harm both to ourselves and others. In this workshop, we will delve into these patterns of life-alienating communication, exploring how they hinder effective communication, foster hurt and pain, and even incite violence. Together, we will uncover a more compassionate approach to communication—one that allows us to express our frustrations and needs while upholding respect, ensuring both parties feel heard, and facilitating the fulfillment of mutual needs.

In this session, we will explore:

- Forms of Life-Alienating Communication: Identifying specific language patterns and communication habits that perpetuate violence towards ourselves and others, such as judgments, denials of responsibility, and comparisons.

- The Role of Judgment and Comparison in Promoting Violence: Understanding how classifying and judging individuals contributes to an atmosphere of hostility and conflict.

- Recognizing the Dangers of Language That Obscures Personal Responsibility: Exploring how our language can sometimes shield us from acknowledging our role in conflicts and hinder genuine resolution.

- Cultivating Awareness of Language That Implies Absence of Choice: Reflecting on the implications of language that implies a lack of agency and the importance of reclaiming our power through conscious communication.
