My paramedic partner and I have been running calls together for two years and lately we've stopped debriefing the hard ones because we both know the other person is barely hanging on and neither of us wants to be the one who breaks first. We're protecting each other by not talking about it, which means we're both drowning alone.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your partner stay silent about the hard calls to protect each other, and end up struggling alone.
