NVC (nonviolent communication) is sometimes marketed as Compassionate communication, as others have noted. Here’s my experience, I hope it helps: [medium.com]
If you’re in a hurry and researching whether nvc (nonviolent communication, sometimes called compassionate communication) is a cult, here are the top three red flags that I experienced:
1. The best selling book doesn’t mention the spiritual agenda, so you can get drawn in with something benign and non religious.
2. It’s centred on a charismatic guru (even beyond the grave) whose history doesn’t appear to be fully told for the safety of people who might be in NVC-based relationships today.
3. There’s a risk of entanglement in trauma bonds and undue influence due to sharing personal information in groups or one-on-one.
