NVC for Kink
Nonviolent Communication, applied to negotiation, consent, power exchange, and repair. Nine short video lessons, each with a quiz.
Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a framework for saying what you observe, feel, need, and want — without blame, pressure, or demand. It maps almost uncannily well onto kink: negotiation, check-ins, aftercare, D/s authority, and the hard conversation after a scene goes sideways. This Skills-tier course walks the nine sessions of Rosenberg's own training course and, for each, draws out how it applies to what we actually do. Watch the video, read the short applied summary, pass a five-question quiz. Finish all nine to earn the NVC for Kink badge.
