When one person disrupts an otherwise healthy group dynamic

My writing group has been meeting for three years and we've developed this really supportive dynamic, but one member consistently dominates the conversation and gives harsh feedback while being defensive about their own work. We all see it but nobody knows how to address it without potentially destroying the group dynamic we've built.

What we've seen

A group is trapped between preserving what works and addressing what doesn't, unsure whether intervention will solve or destroy.
