Edinburgh Mediator: The Card Method That Unlocks What's Really Going On!
from Untying The Knot · host Julie Thibault and Ryan McLaughlin
What if the key to resolving conflict was in a deck of cards? This week, Julie and Ryan sit down with Doug Richards — Edinburgh mediator, thistle enthusiast, and accidental tarot scholar — to geek out on why people fight, how they freeze, and what it actually takes to get them unstuck. We go deep on behavioral archetypes, brain states, Scottish stoicism, American pragmatism, French confrontation, and why the courtroom might just be an emotional escape route. Equal parts practical and a little woo — in the best possible way.
