When team retrospectives avoid real problems

Our team has this thing where whenever someone brings up a problem in our retrospectives, we immediately jump to solutions without actually understanding what happened or why it keeps happening. I've started dreading these meetings because nothing ever really gets resolved and I can see other people checking out too but no one wants to be the one to say the process isn't working.

What we've seen

Your team rushes to fixes without ever figuring out what's really wrong, and the meetings feel pointless.
