Hearing one another

I have been a certified general and family mediator for almost 7 years; however, I recently sat on the other side of the table as a mediation participant. My husband and I have separated and we chose to participate in mediation to attempt to resolve some of our disputes. Our mediator was incredibly professional and followed the process throughout. This experience renewed my belief in the power of mediation. It truly does help people to “hear” one another - even when they disagree.
