Your profession is really responsible. Before reading these two parts I haven't even thought about how serious it is.
Have you had situations in which the 'couple' at some point unites against you and blames you for a negative outcome? If it has, how did you manage to escape and return the balance?

Yes, indeed, there is a lot of responsibility involved. That is why I was so anxious in the beginning to mess it up.
Good question!
It shows that your imagination is very realistic or you experienced it already to be all of a sudden the enemy to people who formerly were fighting against each other and now turn on you, surprisingly, united. LOL.
Yes, I had kind of a situation like this. That was in a session where I got carried away by my inner evaluation and wanted the couple to come to a certain outcome. Which obviously is not my role. That was not during a mediation but a consulting process over a period of roughly a year. In this session, they both were talking against me at a certain point. When I realized my mistake, I changed my attitude and got back into safe waters.
... it is not that you have to have something to say to gain sovereignty but it is just shifting my inner notion and that I do want to be of service and not being a nuisance. It's as simple as that.
Best signals that something doesn't work quite right are signs of stress, either in me, the couple or both.
