Graduates of the course have  expressed the many ways that the workshop has enhanced their life:

• This course is life-changing.  You might find out things about yourself that you never wanted to know.  But if you can break through that denial, a brave new world will open up to you.

• In 30-some years of various kinds of therapy and self-help activities, NVC has offered the clearest theory and most specific and useful applications of it of any of them.

• It’s radically transforming.

• I learned that a difference doesn’t mean right or wrong…  What was outstanding was the possibility of shifting away from blaming self or other….  The skills bring hope and freshness to long-term relationships.  It’s not easy to break old habits, but the course introduced new possibilities and we could feel that right away.

• If more people took this course, we would have a whole different world.  I feel more skillful and confident in interacting with everyone.

• I learned to approach conflict with the purpose of understanding and growing….  I learned to take more risks to express feelings and needs and engage the other person.
