"As we've mediated couples over the years, it seems to us that people do a great job of picking the right person - someone who delights in meeting the needs which they most despair about getting met - and then by the way they communicate those needs, make it impossible for their partner to continue to show their love and caring. That's why in the very first session, we're able to make so much progress - because all we're doing is uncovering what is already there - a loving, healthy relationship." - Max and Elise Rivers of Two Rivers Mediaiton
And by the way, good news, we are using our 'Max skills' [NVC]...doing "need-based negotiations" and honoring each other's needs, and it is working! We are way less conflictual and feeling much softer towards each other, and have had no big yucky arguments over these past few wks! And as a result of having needs met, in turn, [my spouse] has been more flexible and less "controlling" and I think I've been less "judging"/less withholding too.
