Scenario

When peer support groups become performance spaces

Our leadership cohort went through an executive program together and we meet monthly to support each other, but it's become a performance where everyone shares carefully curated challenges that make them look thoughtful and vulnerable without actually being vulnerable. I'm dealing with some real shit that I could use help with, but the dynamic we've created makes it feel impossible to break character and be genuinely honest.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group designed for authenticity has created social pressures that prevent the very thing it was meant to enable.
