Conflict Resolution
Conflict is bound to happen in our lives, in our personal life, for example if you are a parent of teenagers, struggling to maintain peace in your home.
If you and your partner have arguments that never seem to get resolved.
Conflict in our professional lives also occurs: if you have a hard time addressing disagreements with your boss or co-workers.
It is not reasonable or realistic to expect two people to always agree on everything. Although conflict is a normal, healthy part of any relationship, trying to deal with it when it comes up, can feel anything but healthy or normal. So learning to handle them in a positive and meaningful way is crucial.
After an argument with a friend, romantic partner, or co-worker, you may avoid them in an attempt to "keep the peace." You may hope that over time, the issue will resolve itself. By avoiding conflict or pretending nothing happened, you'll create additional tension as this unspoken problem remains between you and the other person.
Conflict resolution therapy can teach you to cope in challenging situations. It can help you find solutions as you navigate conflict. Therapy can help you to resolve these obstacles and by doing so, may improve your relationships.
You can also learn to successfully manage stress, control emotions, and focus on resolving the issue at hand.
So if you…
- Have a co-worker you struggle to get along with
- Can't seem to come to an agreement with your spouse on important issues
- Have an argumentative friend or family member
- Want to learn how to "fight fair" with your spouse or partner
- Need help managing your emotions during an argument
- Want to find healthier, more effective ways of communicating your needs
…then Conflict Resolution Therapy can help.
You can learn to find the source of conflict so you can work towards a resolution. You can learn how to focus on a solution instead of shutting down, blaming, or resenting the other person.
Learning these skills will help you realize that while you can't control the other person, you can control how you respond.
