When creative groups become therapy sessions

My writing group has been meeting for three years and we've gotten close, but lately one person dominates every session with personal drama that isn't really about the writing anymore. The rest of us don't know how to redirect without being cruel, and I can feel the group energy shifting from creative to therapeutic in a way that isn't serving anyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Intimate creative spaces can blur the boundaries between artistic vulnerability and personal crisis in ways that serve neither fully.
