To give participants a fuller understanding of emotional labor and how to cope, this activity would be helpfully paired with an activity on empathy such A Flower's Point of View and an activity that focuses on self care or mindfulness. 

Also, the facilitator will want to be prepared for the fact that this activity may demand emotional labor on their part if it triggers strong emotions in a participant. If it hasn’t already been done, set the stage by inviting participants to take care of themselves, including by leaving the room, tuning out with music, etc., if that’s what they need. The facilitator will also want to think about how to support participants if this situation arises.
