The mediator does not go on vacation

Today in our blog post we would like to reflect aloud: the mediator never rests. And now that we begin a few days of rest with the family, meals and meetings with our extended family or meetings with friends, can the mediator disconnect his/her professional chip in each of the tense situations? or conflict that occurs in some of the scenarios we have mentioned?

It is somewhat complicated that something like this could happen because as we teach in our school, the mediator feels like a mediator and as such, will act like this at all times.

This blog entry is an invitation to all people who have been trained in mediation so that, if the opportunity arises, they put into practice all the tools and techniques that they have acquired in their training. Do it from the evidence and with the desire to ensure that the parties involved in this problem can feel that there is a third party who is helping them to dedicate time to their problem, to see the consequences of a poorly made decision and to regain control over it. conflict that has arisen.

Without a solution of continuity, the mediation that has permeated the professionals who have prepared for it and must feel comfortable helping the management of a certain conflict that has arisen in your environment. However, there are limits such as the degree of kinship or the imposed solutions.

The mediator and therefore the mediation do not go on vacation and are in a latent state under the skin of the mediator, wanting to go out when necessary, but when does the mediator rest? I had an experience in South America in which conflict mediators did a “cleanse” to be able to release all those emotions, stories and feelings that their clients had conveyed to them; The same should happen this summer, professional mediators must force themselves to disconnect and isolate themselves to recharge their batteries for the work that will arrive in September.

I wish you a happy summer and encouragement with those conflicts that will arise at your side waiting for your kind intervention.
