Scenario

When family members have conflicting recovery timelines

My brother and I both went through major life upheavals this year and we've been trying to support each other, but I'm someone who bounces back by staying busy and moving forward while he processes things slowly and keeps revisiting what happened. We end up frustrated with each other — I think he's stuck, he thinks I'm avoiding — and our family gatherings have become tense because we're both still raw but expressing it so differently.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Siblings are attempting to support each other through parallel crises but their different paces and styles of processing adversity are creating conflict rather than connection.
