Scenario

When spiritual book clubs become informal therapy sessions

Our friend group started a monthly book club focused on spiritual growth, but it's turned into more of a therapy session where two people dominate every conversation with their personal crises. The rest of us don't know how to redirect things back to the books without seeming unsupportive of people who are clearly struggling.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group seeking collective wisdom becomes hijacked by individual crisis, leaving members torn between compassion and their original shared purpose.
