YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
You have noticed a sudden shift in the person you love lately. You notice that they come home from work and suddenly the energy in the room shifts. They’re distant, detached, and quiet. You love this person and want to hear about their day, support them through whatever is on their mind, save them from whatever is causing them pain. You want to share with them, tell them something exciting or important to you. Whatever you do, they seem to withdraw further. You’re at a loss and you don’t know what to do.
It’s really hard to know how to support your partner, your parents, or loved one when their career is exposing them to repeated traumas. They feel they are protecting you from their pain, but you yearn for connection. You’re not alone.
