Introducing the Conflict Clinic
Introducing the Conflict Clinic
Untangle any conflict and learn how to do it for yourself, again and again.
The trouble with conflict is that it only happens when you’ve reached the limits of your understanding.
That’s the reason that people struggle with it. If you understood why it was happening or what the other person really needed, it wouldn’t be a conflict in the first place.
This makes it incredibly hard to unpick by yourself.
And this is why conflict creates so much stress, isolation and - over time - can deeply impact your wellbeing and that of your relationships.
The invitation
Come and spend an hour in conversation with me.
We will get to the bottom of what is happening for you, so that you can see the situation more clearly.
I listen to you, you answer a few questions and then we find out what’s going on underneath.
From there, you decide what you want to do next.
I am not going to advise or direct you, but I will gently draw out what it is you are needing, so that you can find a bit more ease and creativity around the situation.
That’s the first half.
Once we’ve done that, I’ll show you how the process works, so that you can do it again whenever you need to.
It’s a simple method that you can use to unpick any conflict that shows up in future.
How it works
I have a few slots in my calendar each week, dedicated to the Conflict Clinic.
All you need to do is find one that works for you, book yourself in and I’ll send you a Zoom link.
The cost is £150 per session, payable at the end.
A few principles to help you choose if this is right for you:
Conflicts should be relatively recent (and ‘live’). Professional or personal - bring work clashes, arguments with your partner or fights with your kids.
This is a session for one person. It is not a mediation session for two or more people (if you want to discuss working with your partner or colleague, email me at hello@maxstjohn.com)
You need to be willing to see the conflict from other perspectives and challenge your own judgements and opinions.
I will treat our conversation as completely private but it still needs to be something you’re happy exploring with a near-total stranger (me!)
As noted above - I will not tell you what to do or say, the clinic is only to help you get a better understanding of your needs and the conflict.
If your conflict involves abuse, violence or coercion of any kind, please seek support from a specialist practitioner or service.
