Have you ever experienced an argument with someone where the emotions, blaming, and words got somewhat out of control? 👨👩👧When this happens walls tend to go up which make us feel unsafe to continue the conversation with the individual. From what I have experienced and seen, people tend to reach out to others to vent and receive validation that they are in the right and to get someone to take their side to finish the conversation. Unfortunately, this even spills over to involving children. 👨👩👧 I have experienced this in my life taking the role as victim, as blamer, and as a rescuer. It ends up hurting others and limiting our voice in the conflict at hand. It creates indirect communication, therefore, creating more damage to the relationship and the conflict. 👨👩👧When I have experienced this, I have wished there was a third party to help with the conversation. However, It has taken me several years to figure out what that meant. 1️⃣I need to trust them with confidentiality and my vulnerability. 2️⃣They need to be neutral. 3️⃣They need to keep the environment safe to have the conversation and help my voice to be heard and understood. 4️⃣They need to help both parties develop communication skills and help them have self-determination to come up with their own way to manage or resolve issues.
5️⃣ need to be affordable.
