People tend to be conflict-averse, or conflict-loving. This is no accident, for conflict provides some of the richest territory for self-awareness, transformation, and developing deep intimate relationships as we will find anywhere. The problem is that too often we deal with conflict unskillfully and unconsciously, reacting to people and situations rather than choosing our response. When handled skillfully, Conflict Resolution can be a nourishing experience, revealing:
- Unresolved issues
- Core values
- Strengths and weaknesses
- Highest commitments
Resolving conflict can nurture trust, enhance communication, inspire creativity, and generate cooperation and collaboration. In other words, conflict provides all the fuel and fire we need to transform us into wiser, more loving beings.
In survey after survey, money issues ranks as the number one cause of stress in most marriages. Couples coaching might be the solution for you and your partner.
I work with individuals, couples, and organizations around conflict resolution, providing the skills and mentoring that can turn conflict into insight, connection, and positive action.
