It's interesting that people who advocate NVC never warn about the fact that the NVC techniques have an extraordinary high potential for abuse as an instrument of psychological terror. There are lots of parallels between the strategies of psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists and the NVC tools. In a nutshell these techniques are excellent for manipulating of others into lowering their emotional safety guards and then hurting them severely on the emotional and psychological level.

Once I've heard a mother talking to her child in NVC-speak. The poor child was brutally cornered emotionally by her own mother, who is the person its life depend on. It almost made me cry. Insecure and dependend people without knowledge and experience cannot defense themselves at all against such emotional attacks.
