Noticing the Dispute Mode may help a neutral facilitator in monitoring for safety concerns as well as participant status during a session. The Dispute Mode concept is based on the science of human emotions. Emotions are a universal feature in all people, constructed in the moment by core body functions, assisted by a lifetime of experience, to engage in survival-oriented actions.

“For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”—William Shakespeare (from The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark written between 1599 – 1602)Time is short, and a decision must be made now. Our heart says one thing, but our head is leaning the other way. We like to believe there is some separation of the subjective emotional heart from the objective, thinking head.
