When family therapy becomes performative after loss

My teenage daughter and I have been doing therapy together after her dad died last year, but lately our sessions feel like we're performing grief for each other instead of actually working through it and I think we're both getting stuck trying to protect the other person from how bad it really is.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared protective instincts can create a false intimacy that prevents the very healing they're meant to foster.
