When creative groups blur the line between art and therapy

My creative writing group has been together for five years and we've gotten close but lately our feedback sessions feel more like therapy sessions where we're all processing our personal stuff through our writing and I can't tell if this intimacy is making us better writers or worse critics.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is questioning whether the emotional intimacy that has developed through shared creative practice is enhancing or compromising their ability to serve the work itself.
