When families resist vulnerability in play therapy

Our family started doing play therapy sessions after years of only talking about practical stuff and schedules, but my teenage kids think it's cringe and my spouse keeps trying to turn everything into a teachable moment. I want us to just be silly together but everyone seems to have their guard up about looking foolish.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family is attempting to rebuild connection through play but each member's defenses against appearing vulnerable are preventing the very openness that play requires.
