When creative partners clash over whose unconscious material belongs in shared work

My writing partner and I have been collaborating for three years and lately we keep having the same fight about whose 'voice' the work should follow, but what's really happening is that we're both afraid our unconscious material is bleeding into the project in ways the other person can see but we can't. We've started policing each other's contributions instead of trusting the process.
