To ensure confidentiality and anonymity, the following five guidelines are followed at all times:
1. Your sharing is focused on your own thoughts and feelings and is limited to three to five minutes.
2. There is no cross-talk. Cross-talk is when two individuals engage in dialogue to the exclusion of others. Each person is free to express feelings without interruption.
3. We are here to support one another. We will not attempt to “fix” another.
4. Anonymity and confidentiality are essential requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group.
5. Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered group.
