Lead this 60-minute session with the pastoral precision the material requires.

⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.

This session asks participants to name their triggers specifically, identify the wounds beneath them, and honestly assess what their emotional responses require of others. That level of self-examination surfaces things people have rarely named out loud. Leading it well requires a facilitator who is pastorally prepared for what honest engagement with these questions produces. This guide provides that preparation.

What's Inside:

• Exercise facilitation: Option A (breakout rooms) and Option B (solo reflection)

• Difficult moments protocols: acute emotional disclosure, a participant whose trigger material is significant, resistance to the ownership step, a participant who becomes defensive
