I learned what non violent communication is a day ago and I’m using it to mend a friendship.

Have you however used it at the workplace?

I find it unpractical: there are so many things to do at the workplace and the last thing stressed people with deadlines need is to have a conversation about feelings, but maybe I’m wrong?

A question for nurses working bedside: do you actually use non violent communication at your ward with your patients and actually have time to do your other duties, like charting, preparing infusions and meds, dealing with providers, insurance, the alcoholic who fights you, the demented one who constantly tries to leave the unit, the one who wants to leave ama (against medical advice)?

    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines violence as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual

    So coercion and other completely verbal applications of power are violence.

    It’s not really semantics, it’s just the whole definition is more encompassing than the most basic/ ubiquitous case of the thing.
