After 5 days of talking there’s an agreement. It will start with a skype conversation in December, and continue from then on as is, or with possible adjustments after evaluating how it’s working out for us:
Conflict handling process between Milla and Daniel
.
-
we are going to have skype conversations
.
-
Daniel will notify Milla by SMS about the possible times for talks in advance (meaning at least 5 days)
-
Daniel will send an SMS monthly to inform Milla if he cannot find a computer
.
.
-
the talking time will be shared equally: Milla talks, Daniel listens, then Daniel talks and Milla listens
-
the person listening is given space to reflect on what they hear the other person say throughout the talk
-
we try to stay away from expressing own opinions and ideas while reflecting (meaning not starting to give advice or state what is right or wrong about what is said)
-
the focus and the space is for the person talking
-
the reflection is there to check whether there is an understanding and it is up to the person talking to decide if they feel heard or not
-
after the talks there is feedback time for both to express how the talk felt like
-
the length of the talk is 90 minutes comprising of 2 rounds each 25 minutes with 20 minutes of feedback time following them
.
.
-
if someone is triggered during the interaction, this person can choose to end the talk and postpone it or ask for time-out
-
postponed talks will be continued at the following occasion
-
if there is a time-out, the suggested time is 10 minutes, but it’s up to the person who asked for it, to decide how long the break will be
-
after the time-out the person who asked for it, suggests who will be heard first, if we can´t agree on who comes first, then we decide randomly (for instance by flipping a coin)
