MEDIATION
Mediation is always solution-oriented
Mediation is a way to resolve a conflict constructively.
A conflict can be internal or external.
​
An inner conflict could be
-
a conflict with something or someone and cannot be resolved (personally)
-
if one should make a decision and clarity is lacking
-
has to choose between different options
-
is in an inner, mental or emotional conflict with others or a situation
In the case of an internal conflict, the people/aspects involved are "externalized" by using placeholders. This makes the situation, the various positions and positioning immediately manageable and creates space for understanding and solutions. For this type of mediation the people involved do not have to be included or actively involved. The power of resolution in this work is enormous. It neutralizes the (conflict) energy and creates inner freedom.
​
An external conflict can be
-
disagreements in relationships, privately or at work
-
clashing of different views that create or harden fronts
-
recurring tensions/arguments (often over trivial matters)
-
the inability to talk to each other without arguments and escalation
In this contexts I work with the DIALOGUE according to David Bohm.
This form of communication creates a safe space. It enables genuine and honest communication, in which even very difficult and "delicate" topics can be dealt with in depth. This often works "miracles".
​
The basis of good mediation is the understanding of the dialogue process and the consent of all those involved.
The initial consultation of 30 minutes is free of charge, then my normal rates apply.
I also offer introductions for couples, teams and groups so that dialogue sessions can be moderated independently.
I work with (inter)personal disagreements and do not do any legal mediation.
"People generally only argue because they can't dialogue."
