In this article I would like to point out a problem of interpersonal communica­tion we tend to experience more often, not only in personal life but also in public utterances, which can be classified as a verbal form of violence. Presented here the concept of nonviolent communication highlights the skill of having an em­pathic conversation focused on facts, expressing needs and requests instead of judging, comparing and demanding. NVC is a way of communicating with each other, which thanks to focusing on certain aspects of the speakers message, as well as your own, and also using specific forms of the language allows you to completely eliminate or at least reduce the chance of verbal violence, appear­ing in physical or psychological way. In other words NVC is communicating with respect to the other speaker, even when we don’t necessarily agree with them.
