Nonviolent Communication and Domestic Terrorism |
The Role of Nonviolent Communication in Combating Domestic Terrorism: Breaking the Cycle of Violence By Alan Rafael Seid, CNVC Certified Trainer In this article I explore the role of Nonviolent Communication in breaking the cycle of violence with regard to domestic
terrorism. While this article will be focused on conditions in the United States, I believe the basic principles can be adapted worldwide. What role does NVC have to play in combatting domestic terrorism?NVC is an invaluable tool for individuals, families, and communities, as well as for people in leadership and governance at every level of power and
decision-making. Domestic terrorism has many causes, and NVC does not purport to be a panacea. However, neutralizing and dismantling domestic terrorism involves any given number of conversations: in the media, with and among law enforcement, between friends and within families, in organizations and institutions, and at all levels of
governance. It is in all these conversations that NVC can be an important trust-building tool to help create clarity, mutual understanding, and forward movement together, in a way that decreases possibilities for violence. NVC helps with people’s mindsets and perceptions, offers powerful and common-sense principles, and provides
concrete, actionable skills for preventing, de-escalating, and resolving conflicts. NVC’s most important role may be in the long-term, with regard to creating a culture of care and compassion, and for humans to build a society in which they will enjoy living. Read More |
SPEAKING PEACE IS a way of connecting with others that allows our natural compassion to flourish. Around the world—from troubled families to dysfunctional bureaucracies to war-ravaged countries—I’ve found no more effective means of getting to a peaceful resolution of conflict. In fact, speaking peace using Nonviolent Communication offers the promise of reducing or even eliminating conflict in the
first place. Marshall Rosenberg |

IN NVC-STYLE CONFLICT resolution, creating a connection between the people who are in conflict is the most important thing. This is what enables all the other steps of NVC to work, because it’s not until you have forged that connection that each side will seek to know exactly what the other side is feeling and needing. The parties also need to know from the start that the objective is not to get
the other side to do what they want them to do. And once the two sides understand that, it becomes possible—sometimes even easy—to have a conversation about how to meet their needs. Marshall Rosenberg |
CNVC is committed to the vision of a critical mass of the world's population using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to resolve differences peacefully. A strong community of qualified trainers will play an important role in the realization of this goal. |
UNFORTUNATELY, I’VE FOUND that very few people are literate in expressing needs. Instead they have been trained to criticize, insult, and otherwise communicate in ways that create distance among people. As a result, even in conflicts for which resolutions exist, resolutions are not found. And instead of both parties expressing their own needs
and understanding the needs of the other party, both sides play the game of who’s right? That game is more likely to end in various forms of verbal, psychological, or physical violence than in peaceful resolution of differences. Marshall Rosenberg |
The NVC Academy offers hundreds of affordable online personal growth courses and resources to learn Nonviolent Communication from home.

The Center for Nonviolent Communication
The Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) is a global organization that supports the learning and sharing of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and helps people peacefully and effectively resolve conflicts in personal, organizational, and political settings.

THIS ABILITY TO sense what people need is crucial in mediating conflicts. We can help by sensing what both sides need, put it into words, and then we help each side hear the other side’s needs. This creates a quality of connection that moves the conflict to successful resolution. Marshall Rosenberg |

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. —Charlotte Brontë
Stimulus or Cause Violence is a result of thinking that others caused our pain and deserve to be punished. When living from this consciousness, we believe that our anger is justified. Consider road rage. A driver who engages in
it believes that the other person is driving badly or is trying to tick him off, so he tailgates, makes hand gestures, or worse yet, shoots at them. He often feels justified in his anger. Two weeks before, however, he may have driven down that same road in the same traffic but didn’t behave violently. Why? Maybe because he had an easier day at work, or left work earlier and had more time to get home, or it was his anniversary and he was excited about the evening ahead. The stimulus was the
same—traffic on a particular road—but his feelings were quite different depending on his needs. The cause of our feelings is our own needs in the moment. What happens is simply the stimulus. In order to maintain serenity in our life, it is important to understand this distinction. Be aware today of times when you are tempted to blame other people for your feelings, and try to discover your unmet needs. |
