Nonviolent Communication with Marshall Rosenberg - a Brief Introduction

  • Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
  • Marshall Rosenberg, PhD has been effectively mediating conflicts throughout the world for more than 40 years. His method, Nonviolent Communication, has brought together warring factions as diverse as Irish Catholics and Protestants, Rwandan Hutus and Tutsis, Israelis and Palestinians as well as families and communities in conflict.
    His method is simply to enable both parties in conflict to listen with empathy to the authentic feelings and needs of the "other" without the need to blame and judge. Things can change when we feel heard as humans.
    The film clips assembled in this brief introduction are taken from a much larger documentary film project on finding human-to-human, heart-to-heart common ground beyond the realm of fixed beliefs. Please visit: BeyondBeliefFilm.org.

      That is the starting point for Rosenburg's philosophy. It is the path of freedom to fully evolve, if we can accept that maxim.

    Being confronted with harshness and lack of mutual understanding in daily life, it feels so good to hear someone talk with such love and passion for life and connection. If only people could see the great potential we humans have and learn to surpass their greed and their ignorance.

    Some here call him scary, sociopath and fake among others. But those words are simply labels you give your fears, most humans fear what they do not understand, and what we don't understand we label, categorize and write off, content with our rationalization of the world and its inhabitants. Most of us have not been raised to think or speak like this man can. Hearing him for the first time as many of you may be doing right now, is akin to being dumped in a foreign land in which you do not speak the language of; you would be apprehensive and un-trusting of someone you couldn't yet understand. He speaks a language of connection, something in this day and age of faceless media we have all but forgotten how to do- connect. We don't see each other as humans anymore, only a screen name or an avatar, we don't see the human behind the words, behind the label, behind the fear. We live in the age of knowledge and connection and yet we don't understand one another, particularly those with different views than our own, those with different labels and understandings of the world, because it is not our own personal language, we simply don't speak it. The next time you see a hateful, hurtful, ignorant or otherwise counter productive comment, look past the labels, try to see the human on the other side and understand why they may have said what they said, see their world, see their life; introduce to yours share your language with them. But just remember they may be scared, suddenly finding them selves in your land, try to help them understand. Once we understand each other, then we can communicate and then and only then, can we connect as human beings.

      This reminds me of something I noticed at one of the UU churches I attended. A majority of the people there had this crazy look in their eye. But they were very peaceful.
      And then I realized that the "crazy look" was being at peace with themselves and seeing other people as individuals. D'oh.

    This sounds easy if you only hear about it, but in fact i find it very hard to focus your whole concentration and empathy at the one you are communicating with(or the group), and at the same time being in touch with your own needs and feelings.
    I`m writing my final university paper about nonviolent communication, and i can only say that this man has my whole gratitude and respect for sharing his way of talking with people, and making people understand their own needs.
    So thank you :)

      I think what you say is a very good point. I have seen that attention can only go to one place at a time. You can't put your attention fully on another person and still have it pay attention to how you feel inside.
      I have done an exercise wear I have observed with my eyes while paying attention to my immediate responses by putting my attention inside myself as my eyes observe different things.
      I think what you say is a really good reason to have spaces in a conversation so one can check in with themselves in the spaces in between the talking to find out how one feels about what was just said or to check in to find out how I feel about what I said.
      Often times, especially in highly emotional or triggered States, people interrupt each other and talk over each other. And he states it is very difficult to consider what someone else has said myslice even be aware of what we're saying if we don't take some time in between to sit quietly and consider.
      I made something up with elephant ears you might enjoy it.

      I discovered it as a "training series" so perhaps that influenced the way I absorbed and applied the message, but like anything else, if you don't use it you lose it and in losing what these teachings extended to me, in losing touch with myself and allowing that primary relationship to be so thoroughly warped, I lost and it cost me immensely and immeasurably.
      I've needed and am trying to revisit these vital teachings, battling against the beliefs I've adopted and hopes I long abandoned that such interactions, such results, and such a reality are possible, esp for me and esp after enduring such consistent and profoundly experience has conditioned your whole being toward fear, distrust, hyper vigilance, and ultimately withdrawal and disengagement after time and time again your devotion to and expressions of love, honesty, loyalty and cohesion are overwhelmingly met with cruelty, accusations, assumptions and abandonment if not utter betrayal. If one is so out of tune that their magnetisms are backwards, is there any hope of help for them or is forfeit ultimately their best hope?

    Incredible legacy he's left - the assumption that because you are working towards peace and positivity and even display happiness means you are naive and havent got a clue about what's really going on is so common that leaves me despairing - what are we supposed to do? Be miserable to prove we know what's going on? Marshall brings such insight even when he is not preaching to the already converted. I've watched him for year's and he managed to keep it very simple and he had to be so patient in the most challenging of circumstances he's really got his feet on the ground and his heart open - not easy to do at all - he's like the master at it. In his later videos he looks so worn out tho. It's so easy to have a thick skin and throw rocks because it's all we have been taught. His message brings us hope 😍

    Break it down to the point of conception, this will lead to the well being of humans. Dr. R knows exactly what it takes to communicate. Once a person has this understanding, everything becomes so clear. As humans we tend to voice our hurt/angry then retaliate to hurt/anger back. Knowing this,is the KEY to NVC. We must mature past our own hurt and anger to stop wasting time and get our point across effectively. Problem is, some people wont see this truth and will write it off as brainwashing.

    I've secretly been a people hater for so long, so much that im disgusted to be human and cant accept any compliments at all from anyone, even those closest to me because in my eye and mind they are still human beings, and human beings are all sinful one way or another.
    Then I read an article about this guy, and listened to this video start to finish, and can honestly say that its a great speech to meditate with. Strong, heartfelt and full of hope, something I've missed seeing in the human race lately. I hope to in the future, when I have episodes where I find myself silently hating humanity, I can meditate on talks like this to pull me out, and maybe one day never have a negative episode again!

    The man is brilliant and ahead of his time - or rather, bringing this time exactly what it needs: more empathy and humane, genuine communication. And... If you'll forgive me for being a geek, in this particular vid, he really makes me think of the Star Trek character of Sarak the Vulcan (also a great Ambassador) at his finest.

    • @andrewpelletier1199
      @andrewpelletier1199 Рік тому +1

      And again..... His words and more importantly, Marshall's strategies even MORE timely and crucial during these times as you say here 🌝. I like your Star Trek reference to Sarak.... I had this sense he reminded me of someone! Ambassador..... That's such a great thought & ironically one Marshall would be the first to probably decline. Only because he always seems to encourage everyone to think of each other as equals, as human beings where celebrating "what is alive in each of us" is so much more important than any label or title which implies a power dynamic and therefore, a power difference between the title holder and others....."oh, I'm somehow more worthy of saying what is right or wrong, good or bad, he/she is more worthy of this than you" Still, I love the Ambassador ---- of Peace----- thought you have here. Does seem like some folks like Marshall here could still encourage others to willingly contribute to making other's life wonderful AND still have a title like Ambassador yet still walk the talk of communicating with a language of Life! I wish those who walk the halls of democracy would ALWAYS STRIVE to operate from this place

    I can't help but think Marshal has left out alot on trauma and the effects of trauma on triggering people and contributing to intense emotions and also false beliefs that might play into conflict.
    I'd also love to know how he manages NVC in his own personal life and whether how he manages any conflicts with partners or children etc.
    I appreciate many of the NVC principles but I still think they are hard to apply without a great deal of self awareness and also healing to some degree.
    Trauma and other implicit uncomscious memories goes deep into our genes and cells so not working at that level to me makes NVC not the most workable or realistic method but it certain can help develop ones self awareness and realisation of the assumptions and false beliefs and values judgements we place on ourselves and others.Self compassion should also be emphasised to me much more than what Marshal seems to do

    • @MatiasPajulahti
      @MatiasPajulahti 2 роки тому

      From the NVC workshops I've been to the self compassion was very much emphasized in there at least. Before being able to give empathy for others you might indeed need to find empathy for yourself either with external help from a friend or with careful self reflecting.

      He inadvertently gives an explanation for his facial expression soon after the video starts. He was a prisoner. On top of that his job is to mediate conflict. The man has seen, heard and lived through some uglyness and suffering that would wipe the smile off anyone, child or adult. But in spite of that, he devoted himself to ending it and offering people good for all the bad they've put him through.

      As Marshall says in this clip, you look past the man's words and opinions to his feelings and needs. And if his physical actions threaten you or others, then you take appropriate measures, including force if necessary, not with the mindset of punishment, but of protection.

    This man is brilliant. A true visionary ahead of his time. If I could liken him to some sort of analogy, he is a surgeon of the mind and the healing human suffering. But even surgeons, as precise as they are in identifying and resolving a medical problem, can sometimes encounter afflictions that are beyond control... That is, until medical science advances to the point where treatment is possible -- cancer is one of those afflictions.
    Unfortunately, people who belong to radical organizations like ISIS/ISIL, are afflicted by a cancer of the mind. And while I believe what Rosenberg is idealistically correct, unfortunately, we do not live in a time yet (Note: Yet) where ALL current afflictions can be resolved by non-aggression or violence. Thus, individuals in the form of ISIS or S.S. must be eradicated, as any medical doctor would approach malignant cancer. Of course, prevention is always the best medicine and many conflicts can and should be reconciled in the manner Rosenberg outlines in this video. However, I would be fooling myself to believe we are at the stage in human history, where every violent person in the world can be redeemed with words alone... Maybe someday in our future... But we are just not there yet.

    Nonviolent communication is what you have to resort to when you don't currently have the firepower to exterminate the enemy and their families.

      Have you really understand the words in the video and their meaning at all?

    This man seems fake, programed and scripted. Is he reading a teleprompter? Is he an actor?

      It is not uncommon to finger something as being fake, especially when all you have seen in the media is fake. This man is real, his words are real. We need to see and hear each other as human beings and not simply a media production. There is a better way. There is always a better way.

      I see why you could think that. In this interview he indeed comes across rather fake-ish. Because of the nature of the interview, I guess. He doesn't really connect to the stories he tells, he only remembers.
      You might want to check his real time work with people. Your suspicion will disappear.

      He seems more tired than fake in this video.
      He's also probably told these things many times, so it might come across as scripted.
