Here is the currently prevailing definition for [psychological safety]:
<begin>
This week, Google published a list
<https://rework.withgoogle.com/blog/five-keys-to-a-successful-google-team/>
of the five traits that its most successful teams share
<https://www.businessinsider.com/google-explains-top-traits-of-its-best-teams-2015-11>.
First among them was "psychological safety."
The term was coined by Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson
<http://www.iacmr.org/Conferences/WS2011/Submission_XM/Participant/Readings/Lecture9B_Jing/Edmondson,%20ASQ%201999.pdf>,
who gave a TEDx talk <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhoLuui9gX8> on
the topic last year.
In the talk, she describes the experience that sparked her interest in
psychological safety, or "a shared belief that the team is safe for
interpersonal risk taking."

It seems unlikely that you can have too much of this psychological
safety going on if you are looking for teams to self-manage and
self-organize.

Curious to know what you mean by 'safety'?

Greetings all,
I have questions about safety related to self-organization I would
love others thoughts on.
Is it possible for an environment can be too safe to support
self-organization? Can safety be at such a high level that it
inhibits or slows down the self-organizing process?
I'm very interested to hear others perspectives.
Best to all,
David
