Scenario

When creative couples compete instead of collaborate

My partner and I are both artists trying to make a living from our work, but we've fallen into this pattern where when one of us is feeling blocked or rejected, the other feels like they have to dim their own creative energy or success to keep the peace. We're starting to resent each other instead of supporting each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that shared creative ambition can breed unconscious competition and mutual sabotage rather than mutual support.
