My teenage daughter and I have been doing therapy together for six months after some really difficult years, and we're both trying so hard to be honest and communicate better, but sometimes our sessions feel like we're performing recovery for the therapist instead of actually healing together. We leave feeling more distant than when we started, like we're saying all the right words but missing each other completely.
More people experience this than they realize.
The intention to heal together can paradoxically create a new form of disconnection when process becomes performance.
