Anger is a powerful and widespread emotion in our culture and NVC has a unique approach to it.  In NVC we define it as a ‘life-alienated emotion’.  The NVC approach to anger differs from the basic NVC model, including an extra step!

During this workshop we will explore how to connect with our anger and ensure that it is expressed in a life affirming way.  We will understand the range of feelings that often underlie anger.  Finally, we will look at how we can connect with other people when they are angry, either with us or with someone else.

The workshop will be focused on practice, using examples from your own life.  We will cover the following themes during the training, with either practice or discussion to support each theme:
– The physiology of anger
– Anger as life force
– The unique NVC approach to anger
– Expressing our anger using NVC
– De-escalating an angry person using NVC

NB This workshop is currently planned to take place online, due to Covid19 restrictions.  If the threat of Covid19 has lifted considerably by August, Daren may revert to facilitating this training in London in a face to face context.  Please contact Daren for more info.

What is the NVC London Intermediate Training Programme?

The NVC London Intermediate training programme consists of 12 days of training across the course of a year, one day per month.  We have focused on making the programme as flexible as possible.  Each training stands alone, so you can attend as few or as many of the days as you wish.  The programme will most likely repeat every year, so you can start at any point during the year and following the training through to completion for yourself the following year.  You can also attend any days you miss during one year in the following year.

The trainings will be facilitated by five London-based certified NVC trainers.  Each trainer is facilitating approx two training days from the programme.  So you will be able to enjoy the individual perspective, understanding and specialism of each trainer.  We hope you will enjoy the richness of the themes and trainer input that this programme offers.

Intention

To deepen your understanding and experience of NVC in theory and practice.  Sustained input over the course of a year will support you to integrate and embody NVC more fully in your life.

Prerequisite

Participants will be expected to have completed a two day foundation training in NVC, or equivalent.  This will ensure a common foundation for intermediate level engagement and practice.
