ADRhub Dec 2012 Webinar: Forgiveness & Empathy In Conflict Resolution After Divorce

Forgiveness and Empathy in Conflict Resolution after Divorce

Presented by Lorraine Segal

Forgiveness & Empathy In Conflict Resolution After Divorce from The Werner Institute on Vimeo.

Holding on to grudges or blame (of ourselves or them) from any past experience damages us and limits our ability to love, grow, and change the world for the better.

A particularly difficult situation is after a divorce is final, when bitterness and resentment can persist, blocking respectful communication between ex-spouses. They often don’t understand how to stop the negative patterns, even for the sake of the children.

Lorraine Segal will discuss what forgiveness is, why it matters, and how to start talking to clients about it. The presentation will include a brief guided visualization.

First, thank you for the upload of the webinar; for some unknown reason, I was unable to connect to the live session last night. Second, I learned enormously about forgiving self and others and the steps Lorraine has taken to provide a platform for that process, why it's important, and the beneficial outcome from engaging in the process. I was touched personally by the presentation and certainly this helps me in identifying my own feelings that lie very deep within me. Forgiving in a sincere manner is healing to the mind, body, and spirit! The best to you!
