Scenario

When partners disagree about participating in institutional truth and reconciliation

My partner and I have been invited to participate in our university's truth and reconciliation process about historical abuses and they want to share their story publicly while I worry it will retraumatize them and damage our relationship. We both experienced harm but we see participating in this process completely differently.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Intimate partners discover their different approaches to public truth-telling create tension about shared vulnerability and healing.
