Family conflicts
Solving family conflicts can never be easy, whether for the couple or in relation to children.
We all have our “emotional baggage” built up from our early life to adulthood.
This often prevents couples from having a functional relationship with each other as well as with their children as they grow up.
The consequences can include constant arguments, competitiveness, power games, and bullying.
Any of these can lead to abusiveness and even violence and ultimately to a complete breakdown of the couple’s relationship.
Solving the relationship requires a great deal of effort by both parties.
Dialogue, compromise and collaboration are all part of the process.
The mediator can assist and offer a calm environment in which to find solutions to a situation which may have become toxic but not beyond repair.
This will consist of individual discussions with both parties and possibly, if necessary, with the children.
A group discussion would follow involving the couple and possibly the children to talk through their grievances.
The mediator will give advice on how to rebuild the relationship and avoid future conflicts.
The mediator may be contacted at any time for support and a review of the situation.
