«A mediator who was giving a lecture, told the audience of her shortest, but successful, mediation. A contractor was owed $3000.. At the mediation, the protocol was followed where the person with the claim begins the discussion. The contractor explained why he was owed the money in question. It was a thorough but compact presentation. When he finished his discussion, he reached for his coat and prepared to leave. The mediator reminded him that the process was nowhere near completion; she had not even heard the other side! To this, the contractor replied: "I just wanted him to hear my version of the story. Now that I have told him what I wanted to say, he can keep the money in question." With this the contractor left the office. The mediator was trying to make a point that I have also heard from a friend who is a psychiatrist. We all have stories to tell. Until we get to tell that story, we may well feel embittered and "out of sorts". Getting someone to listen»From R Mendy Rosenthal's Blog
