I wasn't in music, but I had to take a class about personal biases that was a required course. It required a LOT of reflection on your personal thoughts and experiences, like you mentioned.

I'd either pretend to be someone else and make up your stories (maybe pretend like you're answering them for a friend depending on what you know about their life) or just go deep and answer them.

You can always water down your response if you're forced to share publicly.

Writing about what you know is key to musicians and writers, so I doubt that big of a key element will be easily avoided course wise.

You have a T to back you up emotionally if it's difficult for you. I'd look at this as a way to work through some of your issues in a healthy way. Maybe you just need to change your perspective a bit on it?
