When creative groups become informal therapy groups and lose their original purpose

My writing group has been meeting for a year and we've gotten close but lately our feedback sessions feel more like therapy sessions where we're all processing our creative blocks together. It's intimate but also unproductive and I don't know if we should lean into it or find more structure.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Authentic connection has organically emerged but is competing with the stated intention, creating confusion about what they're really there for.
