Scenario

When partners process shared truth commission work differently

My partner and I both served on residential school truth commission interviews but they've become obsessed with reading every testimony while I can barely look at the transcripts anymore. We're processing the trauma completely differently and it's creating distance between us that we don't know how to bridge.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Partners who witnessed collective trauma together discover their different coping mechanisms create isolation in their most intimate relationship.
