TRANSFORMATIVEMEDIATION

Power & Control

Mediation is an effective form of dispute resolution that involves balancing the power and control of the parties involved. The loudest voice in the room is not always the person in control; it can be the person who is shut down and withdrawn.

At Longtin Law Office, PLLC, we use transformative mediation which is a technique that focuses on getting to the underlying issues of the disagreement, getting the elephant out of the room, essentially. Because all too often, the topic of the argument is not what the argument is actually about. It could be something from the past such as a loss of trust, respect, or an incident entirely different and unrelated to the current issue.
