When both partners work in law enforcement and trauma affects the relationship

My partner and I are both police officers and we've been bringing the job home in ways that are eating at our marriage - we process trauma differently and I shut down when they want to talk through the bad calls, and they get frustrated when I need silence, and we're both carrying too much without knowing how to help each other anymore.

What we've seen
