When team retrospectives avoid the real problems

Our team has this ritual where we do retrospectives every sprint but we only ever talk about process issues and tools, never about the fact that half of us are burned out and the other half are checked out and we're all just going through the motions. I'm tired of pretending that workflow optimization is going to fix what's actually wrong with how we work together.
