How To Resolve Conflict Effectively

With Dr. Inge Wolsink

Humans are a social species, our connection to others is essential for our survival. Yet we so often find ourselves wrapped up in endless conflicts with the people we care about the most. How do you navigate yourself and others safely out of these conflicts? How do you identify what is going on underneath the surface, and initiate a healthy way to communicate your feelings and needs? In this six session course, you will learn how to become better at understanding your own and another persons needs, and in doing so, manage to move from conflict towards connection.

Lesson 1

How The Mind Creates Stories

This first session is about your own internal experience. How we construct a model of 'reality' in our mind hugely affects how we interact with others. And so the first step towards building better connection with someone else, is to honestly and openly reflect on how our own experience came about and was (re) constructed in our mind.

Lesson 2

How To Analyse Your Stories To Create Mental Calm And Clarity

In this session, you learn how to analyse your stories, and separate facts (observations), feelings (emotions), and thoughts (stories). This practice in honestly having a look at your inner experience will help you process difficult interactions or experiences, so you don't get stuck in a thought loop that seems never ending. You can use this practice whenever you notice you are overwhelmed and there are certain negative stories coming online that are hijacking you and keep you stuck in overwhelm, distraction, and frustration.

Lesson 3

Identifying Your Needs

In this session, we take a closer look at your needs. Often, when we experience internal and external conflict, the conflict has to do with an unmet need. Identifying our own needs can be very useful in understanding what we really want from the other person, and communicate that in a kind, clear, and effective way.

Creating A Safe Space, And The Art Of Listening

There is so much to listening. The key to conflict resolution is to learn how to truly listen. To listen in order to understand the other truly, and make them feel like you want to understand them.

Listened to and liked all the sessions. This is very well presented and understandable. Of course, our old habits are not easily changed. For me, at least, that will require some time and effort to think though and learn and praciice what is taught here. I have had three, long term relationships in my life. Two out of three was so easy to talk to without a lot of turmoil or negative reactions. One was near impossible to talk to once she decided she was "right" and that she "did not want to hear any more." She was a good person and intelligent, but her reactions and argumentall style made her very hard to tolerate when her "mental picuture" the "facts" were at odds with a realistic [portrayal of "facts" . And once she was "done" with her "picture" of the facts she shut down ALL further conversation and retreated to her bedroom with her anger/hurt. Many hours of counselling could NOT resollve this conflict and long term relationship. This meditation was great; I plan to listen to it all again!
