Speak for yourself . Share your own feelings. Do not assume you know how another person feels. Share voluntarily . No one should feel pressured to share.
Silence is respected.
Respect the sacred circle around the family . Avoid sharing in the presence of the group aspects of family relationships which would make any family member uncomfortable. Maintain confidences . Anything that is said in the meeting is not to be shared with others who were not a part of the support setting. Unfolding the intergenerational family dynamics implied in this verse could form the nucleus for several meetings, each with a different focus.
