When teams perform health for consultants while staying dysfunctional

Our team hired a consultant to help with our communication problems but everyone's being performatively collaborative in the sessions while still doing all the same passive-aggressive stuff in Slack and side conversations. We're spending money to lie to a professional about how we actually work together and I don't know if I should blow up the charade or just let this expensive theater continue.

What we've seen

Everyone plays nice for the paid consultant while keeping up the same backstabbing behind the scenes.
