My partner and I are both therapists and we lost our colleague in a suicide last month, but we keep falling into clinical language when we talk about it together instead of just being two people who are sad. We can't seem to turn off our professional selves even with each other and it's keeping us from really grieving together.
More people experience this than they realize.

Peri can explain why this happens, help you decide if this is the right situation for you, and point toward the right journey or coach.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
