When family members are in parallel healing processes

My adult daughter and I are both in therapy working on some of the same family-of-origin stuff and sometimes we compare notes but other times it feels like we're processing things at different speeds and in different ways. I want to be supportive but I also don't want our healing processes to become entangled in unhealthy ways.
