Our writing group has been meeting for two years and we've stopped giving each other real feedback—everything is 'beautiful' and 'powerful' but our work isn't getting better. We all know it but nobody wants to be the one to break the supportive atmosphere we've built, so we're stuck in this loop of kind encouragement that helps no one.
More people experience this than they realize.
The very safety that enables vulnerability has calcified into a protection that prevents growth.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
