A colleague keeps reminding me by her actions (and, occasionally, her
words) that one important part of interventions is asking what the other
party wants. Maybe that would be a way to help them first consider and
then verbalize their responsibility in the matter.
Of course, the first response may be that they want things back like they
were, and you may have to remind them gently that life isn't necessarily
reversible. As you indicated, you also get to let them know what you want
as their facilitator.
Having said that, it reminds me to ask you, "What do _you_ really want in
this situation?"
