Relaxation, as a way to relieve tension and episodic anxiety. You have been receiving non-verbal cues for one participant throughout the group, which you"ve attributed to her expression of anxiety about the group, and have left these unaddressed. As you are beginning the pmr exercise, she sighs loudly and crosses her arms. You continue to proceed with the exercise, when she then states loudly this is stupid" and looks at you challengingly. The other members stop participating in the exercise and look to you for direction. Want to address the situation as a whole. Validate that it can seem stupid and that takes the heat off the individuals comment (gives them less airtime, lean into what they are saying and roll with the resistance)
