January 13, 2020 Maybe It Was Easier (1 of 2)
We talk with the husband between deployments, processing a bit about some internal changes in regards to increased co-consciousness and changing therapists. We also talk about the pull between connecting with friendships and disconnecting when what feels safe feels hard. Trigger warning for reference to Christmas and to God, but only in context to the time of year in passing. There is also a reference to being trapped and a mention of blood, but only in passing as part of a poem. There are also explicit statements, without any details or further disclosure, that the mother hurt us and the father touched us, as part of the poem.

Kassi talks about why things can be safe and good and still fall apart. She talks about lots of therapy. She wonders what happens when now time really is safe? Panic about everything being okay and that feeling scary. She has big feelings about fear and grief from the past without saying specifically that's what's happening. She wants to turn off the feelings. Taylor talks about anger and about how unfair it is. It ends with big tears, and then someone starts repeating "This is my office and you are safe" and "NTIS."
