Problem: Reply to classmate in one brief yet well-developed paragraph using the additional references to explain/support. Cite and reference in APA 7th edition format:
Classmate-
Thank you for your response and for sharing those sources, I always enjoy reading the sources that others find. I appreciate how you connected psychological safety to managing resistance.
To answer your question about centering discussions around individual experiences, I believe reflective statements are very helpful: for example, "It sounds like that left you feeling overwhelmed." It validates what they shared and invites them to go deeper. I also think gentle redirection when conversations get abstract, for example, asking "How did that feel for you?", keeps the focus on their actual experience rather than just talking about it intellectually.
I'm still learning about all of this, but I imagine that acknowledging how much courage it takes to be vulnerable in group probably helps create that safer space you mentioned. It normalizes the difficulty of opening up.
