I can sit in the room between two people who are fighting and stay calm. But actually running the thing, guiding it from anger to some kind of agreement, is where I lose the thread. They both look at me to lead, and I do not know what to do next, so I just let them keep talking and hope it works itself out.
More people experience this than they realize.
You can sit between two sides, but running the mediation itself eludes you.
