When paramedic partners stop talking about trauma to protect each other

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.

What we've seen

Mutual protection through silence is creating isolation in a relationship that depends on honest communication.
