Overwhelmed directive

Last quarter, I had the Empathy group members create an image about a time they noticed that someone else felt overwhelmed. This helped them to be in tune with different cues another person might be giving, such as body language or behavior. One patient drew about a peer who attempted suicide and how that peer tried to give away some of his belongings beforehand. It also led to discussion of how we can help others who seem overwhelmed. They were also able to relate the feeling of being overwhelmed with how their victims may have felt or still feel.
