How couples can process traumatic birth experiences together

Our doula suggested we process my emergency C-section together because my husband was traumatized watching everything happen, but every time we try to talk about it one of us starts crying and the other shuts down.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared trauma has created a cycle where each person's healing triggers the other's protective shutdown, preventing the very connection that could help both.
