Scenario

When support groups become stuck in cycles of shared suffering

Three of us from our grief support group started meeting weekly to practice being present with difficult emotions together, but we've developed this weird dynamic where we take turns being the 'broken one' and I'm starting to wonder if we're just enabling each other's suffering rather than moving through it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A small cohort has unconsciously created roles around pain that may be preventing authentic healing movement.
