Traps in Nonviolent Communication

How to finally get to where you always wanted to be using nonviolent communication.

Nonviolent communication according to Marshall Rosenberg is a wonderful aid to improving private and occupational relationships. At least theoretically, because there are always situations and people that will get you tearing your hair out and that make you think that everything you've learned is of no help.

If this happens don't worry. 
You are probably only stuck in one of the possible traps of nonviolent communication. Probably you have never heard of their existence and nobody warned you of them. If you now recognize these traps and avoid them you set the course for your inevitable breakthrough. 

Difficult situations arise when we know neither what we need nor what we want from others and ourselves.
We stand there without our inner power and clarity, which makes us helpless and angry. In every case it's all about the question: How do I get back into contact, what do I want and what will give me the power? From this results automatically the solution and the connection to others.


Sample dialogues in the book help you to identify the current problem in a pleasant way. For every problem you will learn tried and tested solutions to find the best way out of the mire.
