Introduces Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent Communication as a structured approach to expressing needs and hearing others' without triggering defensiveness. Connects the goal of 'giraffe language' — clarity about what is wanted rather than what isn't — to the PS conditions it both requires and creates.
