When parent and teen are both in therapy but still triggering each other

My teenage daughter and I are both seeing therapists for our respective mental health struggles, but we keep falling into these explosive fights where we trigger each other's worst patterns and then feel guilty about it afterward. We both want to heal but we don't know how to create space for our individual recovery while still being a family that actually supports each other instead of just surviving each other.

What we've seen

Two people committed to healing are discovering that proximity during recovery can create as much harm as help without conscious boundaries and shared practices.
