Conflict Resolution
We all encounter conflict in our life. Couples struggle to help their partner see their “enlightened” viewpoint. At work, we encounter people who cut us off, or push their agenda without considering other viewpoints. Children, especially adolescents, struggle to get their way and establish independence (e.g., but Mom, everyone is doing it). Conflicts involve more than just arguments or people forcibly pushing to get their way. Sometimes they may be more subtle, such as tardiness at school, giving someone the silent treatment, or work slow-downs. What do we do about it? How do we effectively stand up for ourselves while preventing the conflict.

Bullying
We know that bullying is destructive to the mental health of the victims. What is less well known is that it is also destructive for the bullies.

Dr. Roger Frame, The Conflict Whisperer
Effective conflict resolution is really very similar to fly-fishing. Think about the button-pushing children and adults who know just what to say or do to upset you. They are like the fly-fisherman carefully selecting the best lure to hook you. They have carefully chosen their words or deeds based on past experience. They know where you are vulnerable and how you will react. The more irresistible the lure is, the more likely you are to get hooked. If you fall for it, you will end up sizzling in the skillet.
