  • Triggers from participant storiesImplement a system where participants can step out of the discussion if triggered, with a support person available for debriefing. Set clear boundaries for sharing stories to minimize triggering content.
  • Lack of emotional boundariesFacilitate the setting of personal boundaries at the start of the group. Encourage participants to express when they need emotional space, and model respectful boundary-setting behavior.
