Family mediation in Louisiana is a great place to start to begin your resolution. Here are some things to help you frame your mindset during your mediation.
Peace of mind
Remember that when you enter your mediator session, you will always be able to speak your mind – sometimes in a group session and sometimes in an individual session. It is important to understand hat you may speak about the issues using your own words. The mediator will help direct and support you so that you stay on the right course during the mediation. When you are in the mediation session, it is your time to speak about the problems you are having with your family and talk about the terms you want in order to resolve the situation. Your mediator will help guide you and your family to a solution from what you and your family have been discussing for during your mediation.
Relaxed/open-minded
When you go into Mediation, try to remain calm and open-minded. It will not help the mediation or resolution of the issues if you become overly emotional about the problem(s) you are experiencing and trying to resolve at the mediation. If you go into a mediation session seeking only vengeance or retribution from the session, it will likely cause you to become angry or extremely emotional during the mediation which will make it harder to come to an agreement with your family and could increase the problem instead of resolve it. Therefore, it is important to take deep breaths and relax so your mediator can help you come to a solution.
