This or That prompts work so well in breakup recovery spaces because they create a low-pressure way for members to participate, even if they are feeling vulnerable. The simplicity of choosing between two options makes it easy for anyone to join in, regardless of where they are in their healing journey. These fun, casual choices can break the ice and foster a sense of belonging.
