When professional skills interfere with personal relationship dynamics

My romantic partner and I are both therapists and we keep trying to 'therapize' our relationship conflicts instead of just fighting like normal people and it's creating this weird professional distance between us that feels more damaging than helpful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
