Scenario

When support groups become competitive rather than collaborative

Three of us have been meeting monthly to support each other through major life transitions but we've started competing over whose crisis is most legitimate instead of actually helping each other think through the hard choices. We're performing vulnerability rather than practicing it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very attempt to be authentic together has created a new kind of performance that defeats its own purpose.
