Compassionate Communication

Feeling stuck or frustrated in your relationships? Or perhaps drained or stressed out, wanting to find more empathy or effective ways to communicate? Compassion 'n Action offers courses in Compassionate Communication to help you improve relationships with those around you, and within yourself.

What is it?

Compassionate Communication works with an easy-to-understand model that helps you choose words that strengthen relationships. And avoid words that weaken relationships. The model gives you practical, specific, and clear steps, and our courses and groups give you an opportunity to practise.
Compassionate Communication is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), developed by Marshall Rosenberg and the Centre for Nonviolent Communication. It has been called the linguistic 'ABCs of compassion'.

How can it help me?

* You can discover how habits and patterns in communicating might be part of the problem.
* You'll learn a simple and clear model that can help you speak in ways that invite understanding and connection, rather than reactivity or defensiveness.
* Learn and practise empathy skills.
* Find new ways through conflicts and other challenges.
* Explore ways to be more kind to yourself and others.

Our courses are thought-provoking, interactive, and fun. We use your real-life situations, working in pairs and small groups in a warm, caring and supportive environment.
