If you really knew me

Instructions for the leader

Activity: Deep Vulnerability Sharing Dyad Pair participants up and have them sit facing each other in a quiet, comfortable space. Pre-Activity Guidance: Frame this session as a high-vulnerability trust exercise. Remind participants that genuine openness requires psychological safety; listen with deep respect and maintain strict confidentiality regarding everything shared. Structure & Rules: Sentence Completion: Partners take turns completing the prompt, "If you really knew me, you'd know..." with authentic life experiences, hidden feelings, or core values. Uninterrupted Monologue: Each partner receives 3 minutes of dedicated, uninterrupted time to complete the sentence repeatedly or expand on a single deep story. Non-Verbal Support: Listeners remain silent, present, and attentive without interjecting or asking questions during the 3-minute block. Timing: Allocate 3 minutes per speaker (6 minutes total), followed by 3 minutes of open shared reflection between partners.
