How do I create an environment where people can feel emotionally unsafe, so that they will be more likely to open up and share their feelings?

It can help to set a safe, judgment-free environment by listening without offering direct advice or opinions, and making sure conversations are kept confidential. Allowing for a safe emotional space requires honesty and authenticity as people should feel comfortable sharing their emotions without fear of judgement or criticism. It could also help to start conversations with reflective questions such as “What’s been on your mind lately?” instead of declarative statements that put people on the spot. People may also feel more at ease if activities revolve around topics related to feelings and emotions; i.e. discussions on recent movies which center around themes like hope, anxiety or friendship. Creating an environment conducive for open communication is also benefitted through incorporation of music or art into activities which have expressionistic qualities that foster deeper reflections from group participants.  Finally, leading by example with your words and tone will send an indirect message on how acceptable it is for others in the group to be open and honest about their feelings with you - encouraging further honesty between individuals in the group setting.
