Marriage – Couples Mediation
People are different.
-
What they value is different, if not in substance, perhaps in detail.
-
What they want is different.
-
What they expect is different…
-
and most people–likely everyone, but you may be that one exception–comes equipped on the relationship journey with enough baggage to slow progress to a crawl, or bring it to a halt!
Too many couples think they SHOULD know all about how to have a great relationship. That’s the first error. They don’t. They know about their parents’ relationship and their friend’s relationships, or some ideal a magazine or television show puts forth.
They don’t know about creating relationships that reach their full potential and allow each partner to do the same.
Trained as a psychologist, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler brings that expertise as well as years of experience working with couples and mediating differences and difficulties. She brings a unique perspective.
Many mediators have a legal background. This in itself can be a detriment as attorneys are taught the nuances of an adversarial approach to managing conflicts. Mediators are neutrals. Mediators want to bring an equitable, agreed upon settlement, with the least amount of drama possible.
Dr. Shaler will be that informed, experienced “neutral” party who can help you talk about what is underlying your current difficulties, disputes and differences, and clarify and understand the root issues. She will help you move to from adversaries to co-decision-makers, from frustrated to frank, from charging to charged up….and, all without assumptions, interruptions or, ultimatums.
Don’t wait for a crisis to mediate a difficulty or re-mediate your relationship.Re-mediation is respectful of the changes and growth in each partner. Wise couples re-mediate their relationships annually and to avoid the obstacles, pitfalls and detours that show up in most relationships. Pro-actively re-mediate your values, vision, beliefs and directions to accommodate “growth gaps”.
And, if you’re sure your relationship is over, Dr. Shaler will skillfully help you both to mediate a separation and/or divorce agreement that is in the best interests of all concerned.
DON’T WAIT! RE-MEDIATE.
