2/2 ... unsatisfactorily and inaccurately... Another vital aspect of forming 5+ hypotheses is that it prevents advice giving. This gives listening and thinking and connecting and emotion-work the space they need.
And another: open questions flow.
5+ hypotheses!!
1/2 When assisting a person to consider adaptation, 1st find out whether they want to change. If they do,then jointly form & follow up 5+ hypotheses. If form 1 - 4 hypotheses only they get followed up & therefore attributed to be the sources of the issue: unsatisfactorily.
#Mediation is facilitation of civil, optimistic communication among participants, with a view to finding a practical outcome from a future focused accommodation of mutual interests.

#FeliciaSala illustration above shows individuals navigating a crowd while assisting others to do the same, each meeting a variety of their own interests, maybe including to be: on time, clear-headed, safe, low cost, fit, 'among it' & many, more: ie mediation approach to peace.

#Mediation is a paced process that provides each participant the opportunity to achieve a fundamental need: to learn more of themselves, safely. Then each may decide to change in a converging way, revisiting the recent, familiar, safe change pathway of the early stages.

#Mediation is the facilitation of an even handed process toward resolution, independently of power dynamics. Only the omnipotent can balance power. Mediation is facilitated participation in the creation of a fair outcome that satisfies participants' mutual interests.
#Mediation is feasible when there is time, inclination and ability to think, to listen and to talk. Mediation is not feasible in a crisis. During mediation constant assessment for crisis is essential.
#Mediation is interests based; compromise is power and rights based.
#Mediation is a process. Compromise is a process and an outcome.
#Mediation residue 'The process was fair and I can live with the agreement'.
Compromise residue 'They got ... and I lost ...'
#Mediation establishes a scaffolding.
Compromise carries a ladder.
#Mediation is conducted independently of trust. Compromise is conducted in the absence of trust.
#Mediation is an evenhanded, structured facilitation that builds a practical agreement which meets the interests of participants. Compromise is a strategic and tactical process of progressive capitulation from pre-existing positions to a position of unstable equilibrium.
