When partners have incompatible healing and coping styles

My partner and I are both trying to heal from trauma but we have completely different approaches - they need space and processing time while I need connection and reassurance. We're both doing the work individually but our healing processes keep triggering each other and we don't know how to support each other without abandoning what we each need.
