The Architect of Peace
Mediation is a great opportunity for people going through divorces to reclaim their agency and control their future.
I was called into a mediation where the parties were stuck in a high-conflict custody battle where trust was non-existent. Drawing on the deescalation techniques I learned while getting my Masters in Social Work, I acted as an intermediary within the mediation that allowed them to give and receive information without triggering a defense response. We moved from "no-contact" to a functional, co-parenting relationship in a single day.
When I say "The devil is in the details," I mean a settlement shouldn't just say what happens, but exactly how it happens when things go wrong.
I’m a great referral for a Guardian ad Litem. They keep getting emails from parents who fight over the definition of “emergency”. Ask them how they spend their weekends when away from the computer.
