Music Creator Mental Health Support Group: The Fear of Being Seen

### This event will be Virtual Only. Due to protective measures, we've moved these meetups into our HOME community app. Once you click through to join us, you'll be asked to create your FREE Account in the HOME App to join the meetup.

You’ve made something meaningful. But the thought of releasing it stops you cold.

Maybe it’s the fear of judgment.
Maybe it’s the silence after you release something vulnerable.
Maybe it’s the pressure to promote it in a way that feels disconnected from why you made it in the first place.

Sharing your work is an act of courage. It requires letting people witness your process, your voice, and your truth. That can feel overwhelming, especially when perfectionism, comparison, or past experiences have made it feel safer to keep your work hidden.

This session is about the emotional resistance many creators feel when it comes time to release, post, or promote. Together, we’ll talk about:

• How fear of judgment, failure, or silence shapes our behavior
• Why we stay in “almost ready” mode—and how to recognize it
• How anxiety and imposter syndrome play into avoidance
• What it might look like to share from a place of self-trust, not pressure

This isn’t group therapy. It’s a supportive, peer-led conversation designed for music creators who want to understand the emotional layers behind their creative resistance. You don’t have to talk. You can just come, listen, and exhale.

All participants agree to a confidentiality statement. What’s shared in the session stays in the session.

This support group is a confidential, come-as-you-are space for music creators to talk about the pressures we carry, listen if that’s what we need, and find solidarity with others who understand.

This session is offered free to the public thanks to HOME – Helping Our Music Evolve and the Helping Music Foundation. If you’re able, consider making a donation to help keep these gatherings available to the creators who rely on them.
