Origins
This list was originally compiled by John Abbe from his own notes (initially based on a session with Marshall Rosenberg at an IIT), the notes of Neill Gibson (presumably also from workshops and his own experience), and the key differentiations list in CNVC's trainer certification packet. [1] CNVC gave permission to post the list here. It has evolved since then with the additions and changes of other wiki participants.
