    Hey Ellie, could you reach out to the organiser of the zoom group and tell them how it makes you feel? How are you doing today?

    Hi Ellie,

    That is a tough thing to talk about and it can certainly feel triggering to hear those conversations. Sending love :heart:

    It's important that everybody in the group respects each other, and it seems this lady isn't being as considerate as she perhaps could be. She might not realise this though - she could just be talking about her thoughts without realising the impact these can have on others. So, I think it would be helpful to raise this with the organiser of the group - just as Lucy has said. The organiser could then have a chat with the lady to encourage less triggering conversations. How does that sound? :heart:
