I think the bottom line is that you don't feel yet that you can trust the other people in the group because you don't know them yet. Instead of them asking probing questions of you, you should be given the opportunity to get to know them slowly until you feel you are willing to disclose things. How on earth could you be expected to trust people on sight? If you could do that you wouldn't need to be in a therapy group.
Sorry, I'm ranting. But I can't understand how anyone could have expected a new group member to feel comfortable with all these activities. At the very least you should have been told that you had the right to opt out of participating fully in things like the relaxation exercise.
