My partner and I are both in EMDR therapy with different therapists and we keep having these intense reactions to each other's processing sessions - like when they come home from working on childhood stuff, I get flooded with my own trauma memories and we end up in this awful spiral where we're both triggered and can't help each other.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people processing trauma simultaneously can create a feedback loop where one person's activated nervous system dysregulates the other's, making home feel unsafe for both.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
