The clients were stuck on the question of whether or not the entire vet bill needed to be paid or could be reduced. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I was stuck as well on this tidbit.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It seemed I was trying to move my people forward with no success.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>My colleagues at the Mastermind Group were wonderful.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>They all read my write-up and called me on my stuck-ness!!<span>&nbsp; <\/span>I listened intently as they helped me gather information about myself, what was blocking the progress of the mediation and how I may have made one or both of the parties not feel heard.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It was amazing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While they were constructively criticizing me they were also role-playing this mediation to give me the opportunity to feel how they felt when I spoke to them.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It was mind boggling how \u2018in character \u2018 they were willing to go to help me understand how I was \u2018stuck in my own beliefs\u2019; \u2018not listening to parties\u2019 and \u2018not feeling their beliefs\u2019.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>While on a break, one of my colleagues commented,<span>&nbsp; <\/span>\u201dYou know, I bet it is hard for you to listen to these kinds of situations since you have pets and you wouldn\u2019t want them to pass in this way.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>How do you cope?\u201d<span>&nbsp; <\/span>In an instant I realized, from this one simple observation, what was going on within me that got me stuck in place.<span>&nbsp; <\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>When a pet dies, I compartmentalize my grief over the loss of a pet and move on.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>To me, it is the only way to survive.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>If I continuously allow myself to grieve over my loss, my grief would be unbearable and would consume me.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>In this instance, I understood what had me stuck.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>I couldn\u2019t understand how one of the parties in this mediation was holding on so tightly to her grief instead of compartmentalizing her grief so she could survive, move on and thereby resolve the conflict.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I needed to stop putting what I do to survive the loss of a pet on her and start recognizing and feeling her pain in a whole different way.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>If I didn\u2019t or couldn\u2019t, I would never be able to get past the impasse I had created.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I <b><i>Asked<\/i><\/b> for the help of my Mastermind Group in a matter I felt I was handling correctly and was simply confronted by a difficult participant. <span>&nbsp;<\/span>I <b><i>Listened <\/i><\/b>and realized the solution had nothing to do with the participant and had everything to do with me! <span>&nbsp;<\/span>It is about asking the parties how they feel and empathizing with them in real time.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It is not about listening and then asking them to move on.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It is about really listening to their pain and reflecting it back to them in such a way they feel respected and understood.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Animal conflicts are all consuming to the parties involved because we are uniquely created to hold these animals close to our hearts.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>When they leave us,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamiltonlawandmediation.com\/\" name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>we all deal with that loss differently.<span>&nbsp; <\/span>It is the ability to <b><i>Ask<\/i><\/b> the right questions and then <b><i>Listen <\/i><\/b>to the answers that will help an Animal Conflict Mediator give his\/her clients closure and resolution to the conflict.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I <b><i>Asked<\/i><\/b> and then I <b><i>Listened.<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<div>I learned one needs to listen when they ask a question and hear what the party is saying and not what I feel they should be saying.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I greatly appreciate the dedication of my Mastermind Group and will forever be indebted to them for their help and their commitment to make each of us a better practitioner of Mediation and Collaborative practice. <\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b><i>Ask\u2026. and then Listen.<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hamiltonlawandmediation.com\/HLMContact.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u2014Debra Vey Voda-Hamilton <\/a><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a very special day for me.
