What if the couple constantly fights in mediation, how can they communicate?
Mediators structure and control the process of mediation so that, for the most part, fighting between individuals does not continuously occur. Being able to assert separate opinions forcefully in mediation is a good sign of the individuals not being dominated or coerced by one another. Heated discussions in mediation sessions are not necessarily negative. Mediators convey graciously but forcefully that they are in charge of the process including when it needs to be suspended for the day or permanently.
