By: Mari J. Frank, Esq. CIPP
" While people in conflict commonly make reference to the facts, behaviors, feelings, personalities or events surrounding of their conflicts, for the most part they ignore the deeper reality that these experiences are all processed and regulated by their nervous systems, and are therefore initiated, resolved, transformed and transcended by their brains."
Kenneth Cloke, Esq. author The Dance of Conflict: Explorations Mediation, Dialogue and Conflict Resolution Systems Design,
