Sea Shell

For this activity, the facilitator holds a large sea shell in his/her hands and compares the spikes of the shell to his/her own manifestation of anger, or that of someone close to him/her. The facilitator will talk about how anger may alter his/her appearance, self-perception, or reception from others, what he/she has learned about him/herself, and what the lasting effects of the anger may be. Or, the facilitator can make the analogy and invite a group member to compare his/her own anger with the shell. The group member should hold the shell in his/her hands while speaking, and when finished should pass the shell to another group member.
