Scenario

When family therapy creates performance rather than authenticity

My adult son and I are both in therapy working on family stuff and we've started having these really deep conversations but sometimes I feel like we're both performing insight instead of just being honest about how hard this relationship has been for both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
