After everyone gets acquainted and settled, I'll set the stage with expectations: no pressure, laid-back vibes, safe space to share, vent, cry, etc. Then I'll open the floor for anyone who wants to share. Some people show up to Emo Support Group with something specific on their mind that they want to complain about and either just get it off their chest or ask for advice/support. Others just show up to listen and connect. Sometimes the conversation topics are light and silly, other times we get into heavy shit. You are always free to leave if any topic is triggering.
Most of the time, really meaningful connections are made and new friendships are formed! And if you have a pet, we will definitely want to see it. ๐
