Scenario

When creative groups prioritize comfort over growth

My writing group has been meeting for five years and we've gotten really good at being supportive but terrible at being honest about each other's work. We all know it but no one wants to be the person who breaks the nice dynamic even though the niceness isn't helping anyone grow.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The group's emotional safety has become a barrier to the very vulnerability that creative development requires.
