When mental health professionals struggle to parent their own child's psychosis

My husband and I are both mental health professionals and our teenage daughter is showing early signs of psychosis, but instead of supporting each other we keep second-guessing each other's clinical judgment and I think our professional knowledge is making us worse at being her parents right now.
