Scenario

When family therapy feels like performance instead of healing

My mom and I have been going to therapy together to work on our relationship but we keep having the same fight in session and then pretending everything is fine between appointments. I think we're both performing recovery instead of actually doing it and our therapist seems lost too.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are using the therapeutic container to avoid rather than engage the real work of relationship repair.
