Conflict Resolution Now: Tools You Can Use in the Next Five Minutes

Abstract

Conflict doesn’t arise from incompatible people but from incompatible frames. When two parties lock into misaligned interpretations of the situation, every move—no matter how well‑intended—intensifies the spiral. Conflict Resolution Now presents a fast, practical method for restoring alignment in real time. Instead of debating content, the framework identifies the structural mismatch driving the escalation and offers immediate interventions that reduce threat, re‑establish shared orientation, and reopen agency for both sides. The result is a universal, teachable approach that works across relationships, workplaces, and high‑stakes environments. This paper shows how to see the underlying structure of any argument, interrupt the cycle before it hardens, and guide people back to clarity and cooperation—quickly, reliably, and without force.
