Mediator Resilience in High Conflict Cases
Speaker
Stephen H. Sulmeyer, J.D., Ph.D.
In order to avoid impasse in high conflict cases it is essential that the parties feel that we understand them and care about them. And yet the openness required to make empathic connection leaves us vulnerable to the toxicity that is often present in such cases. In this talk Steve will explore ways in which mediators can increase their capacity to tolerate high levels of emotional stress while still remaining open and present, as well as proven interventions that can be made from a stance of undefendedness. The result is better outcomes for clients and healthier experiences for mediators.
