When therapist couples struggle to separate professional and personal mindfulness practice

My partner and I are both therapists and we've been trying to use mindfulness techniques to work through our own relationship issues, but we keep slipping into 'therapist mode' with each other instead of just being present as partners. It's like we can't turn off the professional part of ourselves even when we're trying to heal our own connection.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional expertise is becoming a barrier to authentic relational presence rather than a resource.
