When couples approach mindfulness therapy with different expectations

My partner and I started doing mindfulness-based therapy together after my panic attacks got worse, but I think we're approaching it completely differently and it's creating tension between us. She wants to track everything and measure progress while I just want to feel less broken, and our therapist keeps saying we need to 'align our intentions' but I don't even know what that means anymore.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are trying to heal together but their different relationships to structure and progress are creating friction rather than support.
