When talking circle co-facilitators disagree about self-disclosure boundaries

My co-facilitator keeps sharing their own personal experiences during circles when participants are speaking and I think it's inappropriate but they say it helps people feel less alone and we can't agree on boundaries.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Different beliefs about facilitation ethics are creating inconsistent and potentially harmful experiences for participants.
