Compassionate Mediation®
Families need not be “broken,” but can be peacefully and respectfully "re-structured."
During this time of enforced togetherness, individuals and couples may be wondering about the future of their relationship.
In a few short sessions in this course, you will acquire a new skillset that makes you an expert in conflict resolution and compassionate communication.
When a new or current client wonders how to make their relationship better or is asking themselves, "should I stay or go," you will feel confident in guiding and supporting them.
You cannot "practice law," but you can offer a legal informational framework that would be enlightening to your clients. You can also coach them through their discussions of all the issues so that healing can happen as they make decisions for their future.
Compassionate Mediation® is NOT just for individuals or couples considering divorce. The tools of this process can help any relationship that needs some TLC - even if only one member of the relationship learns these skills.
In this new ONLINE video series you will receive:
- a proven step-by-step coaching method to help individuals and couples — whether they are affected by recent events or have long-standing issues they need to resolve.
- concrete skills to use in your practice to distinguish you as a specialist in your community and even online.
- new ways to help your clients practice compassionate communication to connect to their best SELF, let go of limiting beliefs, unburden pain from the past, and relate from their hearts.
- confidence in your ability to coach, guide and inform your clients as they navigate life-changing decisions.
- tools and techniques to calmly and confidently be a treasured resource to your clients — for months and even years.
Using the principles of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), higher consciousness, and my expertise as a therapist, mediator, attorney and Chopra Certified teacher of meditation, yoga and Ayurveda, Compassionate Mediation® blends my education and personal experience to provide you with techniques to add to your practice.
Here's what we will cover together in our three hour session:
#1 Teaching Compassionate Communication
- Introduction of new way of relating to make a positive difference in the first session.
- How to instill HOPE and respectful dialogue.
- Guided Meditation for more "SELF" energy.
#2 Comprehensive Interview Template
- Understanding Families of Origin to foster more awareness and compassion.
- The “Magic Wand” Question to help clients get clear.
- Role play for inspiration and modeling
- Miracle of Empathy Handout for immediate connection.
#3 Legal and Financial Information
- Learn the basics to offer your clients
- Tools and information to keep your clients informed and engaged.
- Help your clients heal and transform their relationship - no matter what form it takes in the future.
Here's the format:
You will have access to the videos to watch at your own pace.
When you have completed watching them, there is a brief test for you to complete to automatically receive your CEU's from NBCC and ICF.
For three months afterwards, we will meet together in a Private Facebook Group where I will be offering one live Q&A call a month for 3 months, plus bonus Facebook Lives to connect and answer your questions and mentor you in using these skills.
Some of the tools you will receive include:
Initial Interview Template — unique outline to know what to ask in what order to make immediate and deep connections to your clients, their parts, their partner's parts, and their enhanced SELF-leadership.
Miracle of Empathy Handout
Your clients will feel compassion for their own feelings and also their partner's. Using “I” messages and speaking “for” their exiles, their parts release the need to be defensive, blaming or judgmental.

BONUS #2: PDF of my award-winning book on Compassionate Divorce™: Changing the Face of Divorce, One Heart at a Time.
Some of the Amazon 5 star reviews:
"Compassionate divorce helps individuals and couples to reduce divorce stress, remain friends, and make it easier on children if you have any together. This book has links to free gifts and videos that offer ways to create better communication and a more satisfying way to end a marriage."
"A Compassionate Divorce is possible! We don’t have to hate the person we married just because it isn’t working out for us together anymore. For our children’s sakes, and for our own, we owe it to ourselves to learn how to communicate better than we have before.
Linda Kroll shares her personal story of love and loss as well as her professional expertise as a therapist, mediator and attorney. She reminds us that we are both hurt, sad, and scared, no matter how angry, guilty, or reactive we feel.
Once we have compassion for ourselves, we can offer more compassion to our partner, and from a higher perspective, create a new beginning as a “re-structured family.” Thank you, Linda, for lighting the way for a better way to resolve conflict, and to heal wounds from the past. This should be required reading for anyone considering a divorce!"

“Great job, Linda! Clear presentation of your work.”

What Clients Say about Compassionate Mediation®:
"I’ve experienced significant improvements in my relationship with my husband and children."
“When you’re stuck or unhappy in your closest relationships, it’s easy to lose faith in yourself and in life. Linda helped me to regain that trust. Even though my family was unwilling to participate in the process, Linda taught me new ways to approach old patterns…I’ve experienced significant improvements in my relationship with my husband and children. I was enduring a contentious marriage and now both of us have reached a place of reconciliation. For me, this is the key: Linda guides you to re-frame your story with compassion for yourself AND all your significant relationships, even the most difficult and hurtful. Thank you with all my heart, Linda!” – Mary
"I learned there could be a Compassionate Divorce."
"I imagine that working with me and my spouse was quite challenging as we both brought a lot with us while dealing with intense life issues. Once the difficult decisions were further along, there was space to let concepts into my mind and heart of empathy and compassion. Linda always seemed to maintain an ability to stay above the fray, and she taught me how to come from my Highest Self. I feel that I understood the meaning of Highest Self immediately, yet before being introduced to that concept by Linda, I don’t think that I operated from that place often enough. I am now am working toward living my best life, from my Highest Self, looking for good things for myself, my newly structured family, and for the greater good in my business and personal life." — Paul
"We’re building an entirely new marriage.”
"I resisted leaving for years with two young kids and limited finances, the idea of leaving felt almost as bad as staying. By the end of our first session, we were able to strip away some of the old resentments and junk to have a glimpse of the person we fell in love with all those years ago. After a few short months, we are no longer thinking of ending our marriage. Linda is helping us build an entirely new marriage. She is a Godsend and is helping me to love myself, love my husband, and love my life. What a treasure.”– Liz
“Linda guided us mindfully through the impact of divorce.”
"My (former) husband and I owned a business together and worked together every day. We wanted to dissolve our marriage but not lose our company in the process. Linda helped us sort out the dysfunctional parts of the relationship from the parts of our relationship that still worked and we wanted to retain, allowing us to continue to work together, successfully, for years. She helped us separate from each other in a mutually respectable way so that I could move past my anger and disappointment in the failed relationship.
She also helped us stay focused on what was really important: our 3 year old child, making him the center of most of our decisions, asking ourselves what was best for him as we wrote our joint parenting agreement. When our son attended a group for kids of divorced parents at his school, they thought he was fantasizing when he told the counselor his parents worked together every day. Not only was Linda able to guide and advise us mindfully through the psychological and physical impact of divorce, but also the legal aspects, helping us as she wrote our divorce decree to suit our needs.”—Gina
"I came to Linda seeking mediated divorce documents and came out with nothing but peace and hope.”
"Linda’s unwavering pursuit of compassion and dogged exploration into the emotional history of both our lives was incredibly revelatory. I came to understand how little I understood myself emotionally as well as how much pain I had suppressed, hidden, or avoided. I was able then to see my wife as a person to be respected, instead of a problem to be solved, and now am party to perhaps the best divorce the world has seen. My relationship with my ex-wife now is better than it ever was when we were married. Our child has performed a full reversal of negative behaviors to become a desired friend, colleague, and leader in her social circles."–Jeremy
“I am breaking free from destructive patterns.”
“In just one session with Linda Kroll, I gained insight into a stumbling block in my relationship that I thought was impassable. Her clarity and intelligence cut through my defenses allowing me to see the ways in which I was sabotaging myself. She is a serious and effective therapist who continues to give me the courage to face my painful past and the tools to break free from destructive patterns. I am very grateful for her presence in my life and awed by her extraordinary skill. ”–Carol
“Linda helped me love all ‘Parts’ of my SELF!”
"Entering my 50s, my roles as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and SELF were challenging and exciting. I was looking for balance, and a stronger validation of SELF. I wanted to maintain my roles from a place of truth. Linda guided me, bringing me back to the best version of myself." — Kathy
