trust falls
Backward team catches
A trust fall is an exercise where one person falls backward, relying on others to catch them.
Used in team-building activities and therapy to build confidence and interpersonal reliance: We did trust falls at the corporate retreat.
The term extends metaphorically to any situation requiring faith in others: Starting this business together is basically a trust fall.
