When family members in therapy together create interference

My daughter and I both started therapy around the same time — me for generalized anxiety, her for social anxiety — and now we keep trying to give each other insights from our sessions but I think we're actually interfering with each other's process and our therapists don't know how much we're cross-pollinating.
