Scenario

When professional helpers struggle to help each other grieve

My wife and I are both therapists and when her brother died by suicide we thought we'd be equipped to handle it but instead we keep intellectualizing our grief and analyzing each other's processing and we can't seem to just be sad together without turning it into a case study. Our professional training is getting in the way of our personal healing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Expertise in healing others can become a barrier to receiving care when the healers themselves need healing.
