Just designed a new trust game for my sessions – the 'pause and breathe' challenge

It's a simple setup: we sit across from each other, no talking, and take turns pausing mid-breath – holding that space until the other person breaks the silence with a laugh or a whisper. What surprised me was how quickly trust builds when you let the empty moments speak. The first few tries are awkward, but by the third round people are giggling and leaning in. Feels like a little magic.
