Two-Chair Conflict Split for Internal Conflict

Two-Chair Conflict Split is a live-session EFT chairwork tool for practitioners helping clients caught between conflicting parts, wishes, evaluations, or action tendencies. It helps map each side's wants, fears, emotions, meanings, action tendencies, unmet needs, and any movement toward softening, integration, a new stance, or a clearer decision point.

Editable Side Labels

Side labels can use client language while the underlying structure remains Side A and Side B.

Not a Decision Tool

The tool records differentiation and movement; it does not recommend what the client should choose.

Can more than two voices be mapped?

No. This tool preserves a two-chair conflict focus; the practitioner chooses the two active opposing sides for the instance.

What if one side is unclear?

The map can remain partial. One underdeveloped side does not block review or continuation.

Are side labels saved?

Yes. For this configurable tool, selected side labels are saved with the tool configuration, while sample demo content is not saved as real client data.
