If a client does not contribute to group discussion, I would speak to them privately after the session. I would inquire about what led them to join the group and thank them for choosing to come regardless of whether they wanted to be there or not. Then, I would ask them how we could better cultivate a space where they feel comfortable to share. I would likely open up the conversation for them to share their concerns and ideas about how the group could function better. For an individual that dominates the group conversation, I would redirect the conversation by asking open-ended questions that would engage other members of the group.

Teaching the client helpful coping skills and identifying what led to the anger could serve as a preventive measure for future sessions. I would then speak to the client in which the anger was directed and allow them to express their concerns in order to ensure that the group remains a safe space for them as well. For a client who us a peacekeeper, I would ask them open-ended questions aimed at how we can practically cultivate a s
