The Fear of Playing a Song in Front of a Group

I think there's a real sense of intimacy that's formed and empathy in the co-write, in the writing room. But when we take the song back into the large group and they realize oh my god what I just revealed is going to be played in front of all these people... A lot of fear is experienced. And how do they react after that? Do they feel a little self-conscious again or do you feel it opens up something that stays open? There was a sense of sisterhood and understanding and instant bond that a song is capable of. They know each other's experience. They've lived each other's lives.
