Mindful Divorce Mediation
"Divorce Mediation with a Mindful Negotiator" refers to a divorce resolution process that emphasizes mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and constructive communication. Here’s what it means:
Divorce Mediation: Instead of going to court, divorcing couples work with a trained/certified mediator to reach agreements on issues like child custody, property division, and financial support. Mediation is typically less adversarial, faster, and more cost-effective than litigation.
Mindful Negotiator: A mediator who incorporates mindfulness techniques into the negotiation process. This means they focus on emotional awareness, reducing conflict, and fostering respectful discussions. One example is Marcia Chorney, a certified family mediator who specializes in mindful negotiation.
This approach is particularly beneficial for couples who want to minimize stress and maintain a cooperative relationship, especially when children are involved.
