We are here on Earth to grow and develop. No two people are exactly alike. Every human being is unique – with their own sensations, thoughts, and experiences. In living together with others – our fellow humans – friction is inevitable. And that is a good thing. Friction awakens the spirit. Friction sets us in motion. It is the spark that ignites development.
That’s why conflicts arise – unavoidable, and yet meaningful. Because the true purpose behind every conflict is not the fight itself, but the resolution. Not separation, but learning. Every conflict is an invitation to recognize something that had been hidden before.
Sometimes it begins very quietly. No dramatic argument, no outburst. Just a tight feeling in the stomach when thinking of a certain person. Or a flash of irritation when a message comes in – even though it seems harmless. This is how inner conflicts often start. Subtle. Unnoticed. And yet, they work on us – like a fine crack in the system, slowly spreading if we don’t look closely.
In fact, many physical illnesses are linked to underlying emotional or spiritual conflicts. These are often deeply rooted in the soul. Sometimes they’ve been pushed aside for years – even passed down through generations. The body expresses what has been left unheard within. These unconscious tensions continue to affect us – in our nervous system, our muscles, our digestion, and our mood. But when such conflicts are brought into awareness gently and without judgment, and when they are recognized and spoken, they can trigger profound healing processes. It’s like an inner lock opens – and something that was long held back finally begins to flow.
The path to resolution usually doesn’t start with a conversation with the other person – it starts with ourselves. In the quiet moment where we dare to turn inward. This is where the method of Focusing comes in, developed by Professor Eugene Gendlin. It helps us give space to a subtle, felt inner sense – the “felt sense” Gendlin described: a body awareness that knows more than the thinking mind. As we begin to give this experience words, clarity emerges. The knot begins to release.
What heals inside also heals on the outside. Again and again, we witness how something recognized, spoken, or forgiven brings energy back into motion. Symptoms ease. Sleep deepens. Relationships soften. And sometimes all it takes is a simple question to start the process: “What part of me has no voice right now – but longs to be heard?”
For coaches, counselors, and those in healing professions, this understanding is a true gift. Those who don’t just resolve conflicts, but see the growth within them, open new doors – for themselves and for others. It's not about perfection or harmony. It's about being real. Clear. Authentic.
And what if we no longer saw conflicts as disturbances – but as impulses for inner order? As mirrors inviting us to shape our lives more consciously?
If this resonates with you, we invite you to explore the topic further. Conflict resolution is an essential part of the PlusX2 training program, especially with a focus on Focusing – the art of sensing inner processes and gently guiding them into transformation. This tool is invaluable not only for personal growth, but also for working with clients, patients, or teams.
Deepen your knowledge, expand your potential – and discover how much healing becomes possible when we learn to understand the language of inner and outer conflicts.
