Scenario

When couples are both therapists or healers

My partner and I are both therapists and we've been trying to work through some of our own relationship issues using the tools we'd recommend to clients but somehow being professional helpers makes it harder to just be vulnerable with each other without analyzing everything to death.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional expertise in helping others can create unexpected barriers to genuine intimacy and authentic vulnerability within the helper's own relationship.
