Calm in Conflict

MINDFULNESS METHODS
FOR BEING CALM AND CONFIDENT IN
COUPLE OR FAMILY FIGHTS AND ARGUMENTS

A recorded workshop with the core skills that I've taught hundreds of people, in training programs and in the therapy office: how to calmly stand your ground during the most difficult moments in precious relationships. Practical tools that you can use right away.

If you long to bring healing to high conflict relationships, and stop fights and arguments from ruining your mood and your day, this free training is for you.

Keep Your Calm When Others Don't

In my work as a clinical social worker and therapist, and in workshops that I've led in leading institutions, I've seen how these tools can change lives. Let's break the silence about painful couple and family conflict, an issue that so many of us struggle with.

​

This used to happen to me regularly, can you relate? You achieve key goals and  live by your values in other important areas of your life, or you joyfully practice mindfulness on the yoga mat, but then you walk into the room where the people are and it's as if your wisdom and self-control disappear.

​

I've been acting a lot calmer lately, and I attribute it to the effects of your class.

IMAGINE HOW IT WOULD BE IF EACH OF US COULD HOLD ONTO OUR CALM DURING CONFLICT

Can you imagine what the world would look like, if we, and our leaders, could breathe through quarrels and flare-ups?

If we could choose our response, develop compassion for ourselves and for the other? If we could stand our ground, honoring our own opinion and our own truth, while also acknowledging the other person's humanity?

Just imagine what it would look like if we each knew what's possible to accomplish during conflict and what's not. If we directed our energies to the possible instead of escalating terribly by making the same destructive mistakes over and over again.

Imagine such a world. Now, begin with yourself, your couple, your family, or any important relationship where conflict disrupts your life and throws you off the path of living by your values and dreams.

Hi, I’m Margo.

Clinical Social Worker and Therapist

I've been a therapist for twenty years, and mindfulness is my favourite tool for helping my clients live well even with some of life's most challenging problems - difficult relationships, anxiety, illness and loss - and to create loving relationships and fulfilling lives.

​

As clinical director of a leading nonprofit, I developed and led workshops that trained thousands of medical and nursing professionals to deal with angry patients and family members and conduct conversations about the most painful issues.

​

But in difficult conversations in my own relationships, all my mindfulness and confidence could disappear if I felt misunderstood or triggered.

​

So I crafted a mindfulness practice specifically for heated conflict with the people I love. These tools have changed my life. I want you to have them too.

I just wanted to let you know that the tools have been transformative for me and life-changing. I'm not angry anymore.

Answers to FAQ

This is a standalone workshop that will give you tools you can use even if you don’t purchase anything from me.
 

These tools work in conflict in any important relationship. People have come because of conflict with their life partner, their child, or another close relative, as well as their boss or a close friend. Anyone who’s important to you and who you have conflict with in a way that disrupts your life.
 

You’ll learn tools that are simple and doable even with no background in mindfulness. But if you love and practice mindfulness, you may be even more frustrated than others about how it all disappears for you during an argument. I teach how to do it even in situations that are triggering.
 

Yes, you can change the situation even if they're the ones who start conflict and keep it going.

​

Many of my clients and participants have lived with long-term conflict. Often, it’s the same arguments that come up over and over and have been unresolved for years, no matter what they’ve tried. These skills work for that too, though it may be a longer process.
 

You don't have to respond well to someone who's misbehaving. This work is a choice, and that doesn’t obligate you to practice it all the time. By learning this approach, you’ll have the option of choosing your response.

I couldn’t have done this last month if not for these tools. Everyone around me was freaking out and I was just staying calm and responding how I wanted to.
