"Because patient interactions can happen during group sessions I always start the group off by reviewing ground rules and encouraging participation. Allowing patients to speak freely while being respectful of others can sometimes lead to escalated discussions. Keeping the mood calm and showing the patient that I'm there to help them helps de-escalate uncomfortable situations."
