Scenario

When family therapy becomes performative rather than transformative

My mom and I have been in therapy together to work on our relationship but we've both gotten really good at performing insight and growth for the therapist while the real hurt between us stays exactly the same. We're healing in theory but not in practice.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
