This is the first time I have attempted to run an activity with anyone outside of my course. I found working with someone who perhaps isn't as creative (and possibly a little sceptical) was very challenging. When I have been presented with these tasks in our group sessions at Uni, I have been happy and comfortable with just 'going along' with what I had been instructed to do because I knew the underlying purpose. For someone attending a session who struggles to do something without knowing the exact reasoning behind it, this type of exercise may present significant challenges and cause distress/anxiety. As a leader, I think I need to work on briefing my service users more effectively before allowing them to undertake an exercise.
