Scenario

When family members can't talk about shared trauma without triggering each other

My mom and I have been trying to talk about how my dad's drinking affected our family now that he's been gone two years, but every conversation ends with one of us shutting down or getting angry and I think we're making it worse instead of healing anything.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their individual ways of processing the same wound create mutual retraumatization rather than healing.
