Conflict destabilises us and impairs our ability to make good decisions and take the other person's perspective. But that is exactly what we want and can do. A non-directive attitude on the part of the mediator, combined with appropriate interventions, strengthens self-determination and dialogue and offers a suitable space for transforming conflicts.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\"><span class=\"\">The limits of transformative mediation?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">What are the limits for this type of mediation in practice?  The limits are basically determined by the parties themselves. The fact that the parties themselves determine the content and course of the sessions means that the outcome is highly self-determined. Mediations often end with a joint agreement, but it is precisely the increased level of understanding of the different points of view that is of great value. Even if major differences still exist or new ones arise, the parties are once again able to deal with them constructively.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,183,314,93,98,42],"tags":[28,25],"class_list":["post-5413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein","category-audio","category-inkovema-podcast","category-konzepte-fuer-die-mediation","category-mediationsstile","category-podcast","tag-mediationsstil","tag-transformative-mediation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.inkovema.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
