Scenario

When partners have different trauma healing approaches

My partner and I are both survivors of childhood trauma and we keep getting triggered by each other's healing approaches - they think I'm avoiding things by going to therapy while I think their confrontational style is retraumatizing us both. We're starting to feel like our different ways of processing are pulling us apart instead of bringing us together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their individual paths to healing are creating friction in their shared journey rather than mutual support.
