When family comedy nights become too serious and lose their healing power

Our family started doing a monthly comedy night during lockdown where we'd each do five minutes about our lives and it was healing and hilarious, but now that we're trying to turn it into something more serious about examining our family dynamics, it feels forced and awkward. We've lost the lightness that made us brave enough to be honest with each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
