When team retrospectives avoid the real interpersonal issues

We're a product team of eight and we do retrospectives every two weeks where we're supposed to talk about what's not working but it's always the same safe complaints about tools and processes and never about the fact that two people do most of the talking in every meeting and three people barely speak and I think we all know this but we just keep focusing on Jira workflows.
