Mediation Style:
Focus on what is best for everyone concerned
Address biggest fears and make sure they do not come to pass
Identify common interests and concerns
Emphasize letting go and moving on
Personal Values in Mediation:
A divorce is not a moral failing and there should be no stigma associated with it
Just because a marriage does not last forever does not mean it was a failure or had no good in it
Moving past anger, blame, shame and guilt is essential if former spouses are to effectively co-parent
Unhealed divorce wounds can poison the rest of a person's life, leaving them too broken to find the happiness they are leaving their marriage to seek
All obstacles to peace can be overcome through understanding and new insights that often come with time
