To address emotional reactivity and defensiveness, peer-led initiatives can implement several strategies: Promote Self-Awareness: Encourage members to reflect on their emotional responses and triggers, fostering self-understanding and emotional regulation. This can be achieved through journaling, mindfulness exercises, and individual or group discussions. Normalize Emotional Responses: Acknowledge the challenges of emotional engagement and validate the experience of emotional fatigue or vulnerability. Let members know that these are natural reactions and that support is available. Create Safe Spaces: Establish clear boundaries and ground rules to ensure a safe and supportive environment for open communication and emotional sharing. This involves setting expectations for respectful behavior, confidentiality, and active listening. #PeerLedSupportGroups #Empathy #EmotionalReactivity #Defensiveness #EmpathyFatigue #Vulnerability #EmotionalTriggers #PeerSupport #EmotionalManagement #CopingMechanisms #ActiveListening #SafeSpaces #SelfAwareness #Resilience #EmotionalWellBeing #PeerLeaders #EmpatheticBehavior #PositiveOutcomes #BuildingConnections #SupportiveCommunities #MentalHealth #CommunityEngagement #OvercomingChallenges #PsychologicalInterventions #ProfessionalSupport
