Scenario

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.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing both professional trauma and personal intimacy are discovering their different coping mechanisms are creating distance rather than connection.
