He is incredibly patient
To say that Cyd and his mediation work saved my life is not hyperbole. My ex and I were in the midst of a quarantine fueled, messy divorce with 4 kids and a co owned and co founded business as potential cannon fodder. We were both motivated to handle things amicably, and to stay out of lawyer’s offices, but we were each struggling to see how that could be possible with so many raw emotions bubbling to the surface. Cyd saw it through, and that was no easy job. I will advise you to LISTEN when he suggests taking it slow. The very real and serious conflict and problems you have between you didn’t build overnight, and untangling them will take care, attention and time. I didn’t really know what to expect going in, but I’ll admit that I didn’t expect it to take as long as it did, and I was definitely resistant at first. I wanted it over, because my mindset at the time was to have as little communication with my ex as possible. Now I can say we are very friendly and cordial, and co-parenting with him and his partner is a breeze. I don’t feel I need to avoid it because doing it doesn’t trigger me. Cyd and his approach to mediation is 100% why that is true. He is incredibly patient, and moreover, so even keeled. My ex and I are passionate, loud and naturally combative with one another. Cyd calmly lead us out of awful interactions, helped us boil our needs and desires down to objective brass tacks, and left the emotion out of it, which honestly still feels like some kind of magic work. If you know either of us, you probably can’t actually believe that we were able to settle anything emotionlessly and objectively, but I’m telling you! This is the incredible skill that Cyd wields. He is meant to do this work, and I don’t wish anyone to be in these sorts of difficult situations, but as we are human and they are unavoidable, I truly do wish that everyone could have Cyd on their side. I couldn’t recommend a better mediator!!!
