Anger is a powerful emotion. If we understand that the root of our anger is our thinking, there is hope for dealing with it compassionatley. Can you imagine the power of transforming it?

About this Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Level Two Course

On this course you will practise skills learned in your Level One or Foundation Training, plus further developing understanding and skills in the area of anger, guilt, shame, and depression.

• Learn how to express anger fully without blame, attack or threat.
• Learn how to receive anger in ways that increase safety, respect and understanding.
• Clarify your feelings and needs in challenging situations.
• Extend skills and understanding with the “Anger, Guilt, Shame and Depression” Dance Floor. Dance Floors are spatial maps of the NVC process which we lay on the floor and walk through — hence Dance Floors.

The other Level Two courses we offer cover empathy and conflict.
