Scenario

When creative collaborators clash over how to process shared trauma

Our band started writing an album about losing our drummer to suicide, but halfway through we realized we all have completely different ideas about what this music should say and whether we're healing or just reopening wounds. Every rehearsal feels like group therapy that nobody signed up for.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group creative process can amplify rather than resolve individual grief when there's no shared vision for what transformation through art should look like.
