Synopsis

Conflict is everywhere in life. It is not bad. It’s good. It means that people care about things, people, and issues. If you are ever going to interact with people, conflict is inevitable – unescapable. It exists whenever there is a competition over scarce resources or values. Learning to better understand and manage conflict is like learning to surf waves. The better your knowledge and skills, the more satisfying your time at the beach, and the more you get excited about waves instead of running from them. When you begin to better manage conflicts in your life, the payoff is even more fruitful than learning to surf. Not only can’t you escape conflict like you can waves (just stay out of the water), you can be hurt much more in badly managed conflicts. Except in rare cases, a poorly negotiated wave will only give you some bruises and a mouth full of water. But poor conflict management can cause the permanent loss of longstanding friends, valued jobs, marriages - and may even earn you a punch in the nose (or worse).The Safety Model is a step-by-step method for negotiating your personal conflicts with or without the aid of counselors, mediators, or arbitrators. It is best if two people in a dispute can agree to learn the Model and then practice using it together. But, in the last part of this book, I explain how you can apply the basic tactics of the discipline to help you better manage even an aggressive person.The Safety Model is a discipline – not a magic pill. You must be willing to take a new look at your views of fear, anger, aggression, courage, and strength; and you must decide to apply the tactics the Model contains or nothing will change. In many ways, it is similar to a diet or an exercise regimen. Make the commitment, follow the steps diligently, and I am certain that you will see conflicts resolved and positive results in your relationships; hundreds of my past clients and students already have.
