Most people cannot verbally confront an issue with another person. Some try using makeshift methods. Needless to say, they find themselves frustrated and annoyed at the situation and themselves. Those who can muster up the courage to confront sometimes get rejected or hurt in the process. A few aggressive people verbally confront within only their victory in sight, not caring about the feelings of others. Winning their point of view is their only goal. Speaking in front of groups and verbally confronting another are some of the most difficult behaviors one can achieve. For many, success bases itself on applying these two skills. These skills must be learned-a psychological process, indeed.

The essence of personal growth encompasses one's body, mind, and social awareness. Communication requires one to learn developmentally. Many activities of verbal confrontation are involved with how the mind, body, and social aspects interact. Many people are in awe as they observe a newborn child - the little spiritual thing! But what's not observed is the infant's "body intelligence," or body- ego. It knows what it needs. Parents soon find that out.

A unique and effective tool is the Verbal Confrontation Model as presented in the book titled Handling Verbal Confrontation. The "Model," quite simplistic in design, offers one to self-probe the challenging behavior or issue using a perfected and psychologically sound protocol. Once learned and applied, the mind and body become more balanced. They work together offering controlled emotions and sharpened mental processing. Soon, the fear of facing others is mitigated and resolution is achieved.

The "Verbal Confrontation Model" was developed experientially. It's a real-to-life process that captures the psychological essence of what occurs when two people verbally interact in a confrontation. When applied, the protocol of the "Model" focuses on resolving the issue. The dynamics of interaction engage between the one who confronts (the confrontor) and the one being confronted (the confrontee). Secondly, the true nature of the relationship between the two individuals involved anchor themselves into a "Win-Win-Win" outcome. This implies that both individuals and their relationship win.
