This session guides participants through biblical guidelines and skills on how to confront others, from preparing for the confrontation, to steps to take when confronting. Both verbal and nonverbal ways to handle resistance when confronting are considered. The demonstrations and practice in confronting effectively help us become more comfortable and effective in confronting others when necessary. Receiving Confrontation Receiving confrontation well is just as important, and often even harder, than giving confrontation, especially when we are confronted in anger. In this session the participants discover biblical ways to diffuse an attack.
Demonstrations show how to respond effectively and what to avoid doing when confronted in anger.
Participants can dramatically see the difference that their reaction has when they are confronted in anger. Then they practice the skill in pairs. Managing Conflicts Effectively Conflicts with others are rarely easy to handle. This session starts by looking at some core beliefs about healthy relationships and conflict. This strategy helps to slow the process down, and reduces inappropriate expression of feelings.
