Anger

As a mediator, I have been seeing lots of anger expressed lately at the mediation table. Anger is ok, if its directed in a manner that brings about some form of resolve.

What is not good, are deep levels of prejudice towards races, religious beliefs.

The economy is also adding a huge amount of stress and the impacts are on individuals, couples, partnerships.

Mediation can be effective in resolving disputes, if the parties are willing to sit at the same table and truly listen to one another.

A neutral can assist and guide.
