The truth is that most people who are in mediation, including myself, don’t really want to be there. They are there because they are required to be there. They are there because they are mandated to be there. They are there because they have no choice but to be there.
If you are a mediator who is not interested in being there, and you don’t want to be there, then you are in the wrong job.
I’m not saying that you should be a mediator if you don’t want to be there. I’m saying that you should not be a mediator if you don’t want to be there.
Mediation is a stressful job. It is a stressful job because it is a job that has no choice but to be stressful.
If you don’t want to be there, then you should not be a mediator.
If you want to be a mediator, then you should be a mediator.
