Speaking as a creative practitioner, the capacity of the facilitator to hold the space makes a huge difference.

It doesn't sound like the space was held particularly well in that group where everyone was reacting off one another.

One of the things I retained from my Introduction to Therapeutic Writing course was the facilitator's comment 'If you are at all unsure of your own capacity, then don't lead the group.'
