Using Experience to Break Impasse

Ever wonder why there are different views of what happened in every experience?

I get to see this almost daily.  I sit down with people who have very opposing stories and differing views on both of them witnessing the same event.  You have your version of the story.  They have their version of the story.  I piece together my own version of the story.  Then there is the actual story of what happened.

Below,…

Ombuds Program Informally Resolves 90% of Grad Student Grievances at University of Maryland

An article in the UM student newspaper reports that a three-year old grievance procedure for graduate students is rarely used. The procedure was implemented in 2009 for graduate students who felt abused by their supervisors.

ABOUT FORGIVING

Forgiving is complex. Among other things, forgiveness means being able to move on and not continue to hold on to the hurt and pain from a situation. Some people expect that once they apologize for something they said or did that they are forgiven. It’s not that easy. There are many layers to forgiveness, including how deep the hurt, the nature of the deed or words that hurt us, who asks for forgiveness and how forgiveness is requested. When we seem to be unable to forgive, we may not be…

Or, we may have done something to which he or she is reacting and we choose a defensive or blaming response to counteract his or her accusations. Or, some combination of these and other circumstances may have occurred that…
