Feeling safe

It is our desire that we provide a safe place for you to share your hurts, habits, and hang – ups. If you don’t feel safe then you won’t share and if you don’t share then you won’t start to heal. The reality is that we all have scars in our lives and need a safe place to talk about these scars. This is why we desire for all of our groups to be a safe place. In order for us to keep these groups safe we hold to these 5 guidelines.

• Keep your sharing focused on your own thoughts and feelings. Limit your sharing to 3-5 minutes.

• There is no crosstalk. Crosstalk is when two people engage in a conversation excluding all others. Each person is free to express his or her feelings without interruptions.

• We are here to support one another, not “fix” one another. This keeps us focused on our own issues.

• Anonymity and confidentiality are basic requirements. What is shared in the group stays in the group. The only exception is when someone threatens to injure themselves or others.

• Offensive language has no place in a Christ-centered recovery Group.
