When siblings process shared trauma with conflicting memories

My adult brother and I are both trying to heal from our childhood trauma, but we remember our family completely differently and every conversation about our past becomes this weird competition over whose version is more true. We want to support each other but our healing processes seem to be canceling each other out.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The need for validation of one's own experience conflicts with the equally valid but different experience of someone who shared the same circumstances.
