A neutral mediator helps you focus on the future and assists you in redesigning your lives by attending to the issues that need to be resolved. When couples are locked in habitual emotional patterns, mediators assist in drawing distinctions between feelings, needs and wants. They focus on the issues at hand and help the couple to create mutually acceptable solutions. Mediation supports an on-going process of emotional healing and disentanglement. No, but it works for most couples, and not just for couples who already know how to cooperate.
Mediators assist people to collaborate in spite of their history.
It does require that each party be willing to speak truthfully and accept responsibility for their life. The rewards are worth it. 12518-1305 Cornwall, NY NYC by Appt.
