When couples trigger each other while processing shared trauma history

My wife and I have been in therapy trying to understand how our respective traumas show up in our marriage, and we've learned a lot individually but we're struggling to create new patterns together because we get triggered by each other's healing process.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The very act of examining formative wounds together becomes a source of mutual activation, complicating the preparation for healthier relating.
