As a result I have formed some wonderful friendships that I doubt would have been able to flourish if I'd been a closed book and shared nothing of myself as a vulnerable and flawed human being.<br /><br />Your frienship is one I value because we have both shared and I wouldn't have it any other way.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185485331789471194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-35601569795413025282009-12-15T06:27:20.652-04:002009-12-15T06:27:20.652-04:00cyrus... thinking is a good thing. :) cheers!
Ma...cyrus... thinking is a good thing. :) cheers!<br /><br />Mark...I don't know about wise, but if i've learning anything through blogging and writing reflections, storytelling is the best way to connect. <br />One of the icebreakers I used is called two truths and a lie. Everyone writes their down on a piece of paper and they are all thrown into a hat. Throughout the session I pulled them out one at a time and read them aloud. We had to guess which one was the lie for each person. It worked beautifully with this group.... and it allowed them all a chance to share a bit of themselves. This prompted a few stories to come out. Have you ever tried that one Mark? <br /><br />Gilly.... That's for sure! In this class I set the guideline that we "extroverts" had to pause longer than we usually do so that the introverts could feel comfortable stepping into the discussion. I also put them in pairs for some of the exercises I did so that others who were really quiet had a chance to share.<br />The quiet ones in the back? Not a nightmare...... just a good challenge. :)awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-66342060800105270192009-12-15T05:08:10.808-04:002009-12-15T05:08:10.808-04:00Some people find it easier to share than others. ...Some people find it easier to share than others. Some massage their stories to make themselves look better/braver/even more vulnerable than others. Some would no more share a story than fly to the moon!<br /><br />I used to be able to share, but I've been scalded too often now to be quite so free! At least in public.<br /><br /><br />I'd be that silent soul at the back of the classroom listening to everyone, giving out nothing! A Counsellors nightmare! ;-)Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-49710191002506456242009-12-14T16:55:35.486-04:002009-12-14T16:55:35.486-04:00Stories and the sharing of our story is so very im...Stories and the sharing of our story is so very important! This is so very important and you have expressed yourself eloquently.
