About the Workshop

There are so many benefits to bringing the skills and principles of NVC into the therapy room, including:

  • Greater ease in accessing and expressing your empathy for your clients

  • Increased capacity to manage and work with your own "countertransference"

  • More respectful therapeutic relationships, rooted in a "power-with" rather than "power-over" dynamic

  • Greater access to the natural compassion in your humanity-loving heart!

In this workshop you will learn the basics of NVC and how these tools and principles can support your therapeutic work, all in an intimate, comfortable setting with other therapists.

This 3-hour workshop is interactive and engaging. Past participants have reported that it is fun, connecting, and meaningful. Space is limited to six participants.

What you’ll get:

  • A packet of handouts to take home with you to help you integrate the teachings of the workshop, including a resource list for you and your clients to learn more about NVC

  • Lists of feelings and needs to help you and your clients enhance emotional intelligence and communicate more clearly and effectively

  • Tools to share with your clients so they can have more connection in their lives

  • Insights from fellow participants as we discuss the material together

  • Genuine connection with colleagues who share some of your values

  • A chance to ask your questions and explore what interests you most about NVC

About NVC

NVC was developed by Marshall Rosenberg, a psychologist and peacemaker who studied with Carl Rogers, the founder of the person-centered approach. NVC is a practice of listening empathically, speaking authentically, and creating connections based on understanding, compassion, and respect. As a therapeutic approach, NVC helps therapists move beyond the typical focus on feelings to a deeper dive into the hearts of our clients through a focus on universal human needs.
