From the desk of Susheela Sarathi (edited) Parties might get into justification mode. They may start justifying their actions and inactions. They may try to justify how the action and inaction on the part of other side is unfair. Mediator may have to stand out . Listen to them with patience and make them understand on their own as to what is the outcome of their justification. Decision making process requires energy . The mediator also requires energy to assist the parties during the decision making process . The parties require energy till they take decisions. If the energy gets drained out at any point of time process becomes too tiring. Mediation has to be a supportive process where no one feels burnt out.

From the desk of Susheela Sarathi - "Mediator cannot expect tenacity from the parties at the very initial stages of mediation. Technique of systematic layering through which apprehension if any is taken away and the hope for a better future is tried to be sown , helps in building tenacity in the parties." My elaboration: - The approach helps create a structured and organized process that enhances communication, promotes cooperation, and increases the likelihood of a successful resolution. Here are some key techniques involved in systematic layering: 1. The mediator first works with the parties to clearly identify and separate the issues at hand. By categorizing the issues, the mediator can tackle each one individually, preventing them from becoming overwhelming or entangled. Active listening and focused conversation are important - no emotional or unrelated topics. 2. Once issues are identified, the mediator helps the parties understand their underlying interests, needs, and concerns. Interests are prioritized based on their importance to each party, and the mediator may help the parties see areas of common ground, laying the foundation for resolution. 3. Sequencing Discussions Discussions are layered by addressing less contentious or easier issues first to build rapport and trust, creating momentum for resolving more difficult or sensitive matters. 4. Breaking Down Complex Issues Large, complex issues can be overwhelming. Systematic layering involves breaking down these issues into smaller, more manageable components. 5. Consensus-building is layered by starting with areas of agreement and expanding outward. The mediator guides the parties in finding common ground on smaller issues, eventually tackling larger disagreements. This gradual approach helps foster a collaborative mindset, as parties see the progress made on simpler issues. 6. The mediator helps each party listen to the other’s perspective, and systematically layers communication skills by encouraging respectful listening, summarizing points, and reframing positions. This ensures that all viewpoints are fully understood before decisions are made. 7. Once the issues are identified and interests are clarified, the mediator systematically guides the parties through brainstorming possible solutions. This step often involves layering multiple options to explore a range of creative possibilities. 8. Throughout the mediation, the mediator remains flexible, adjusting the layers of the process to suit the dynamic of the session. If a particular issue becomes particularly complex, the mediator may decide to shift focus to another layer temporarily, allowing for a more balanced approach. This adaptive layering ensures there is no impasse and the mediation remains productive and responsive to the needs of the parties.
