System Speak: Complex Trauma and Dissociation episodes

  • Snuggle My Muggle
    We talk with the (outside) children about their experience of us being gone for almost three months. They talk a little bit about their understanding of our work in war zones and disaster sites. Then they talk about my new Plural shirt, and explore what it might mean. They talk about parts of themselves in a general sense, and how they negotiate what meets their needs. Our own abuse comes up in context of triggers, which they only know in general in context of their own foster experiences. They close with sharing what we learned in 2019, and what we hope for in 2020. They wrap up with a song at the end. Trigger for reference to abuse, with the specific examples mentioned above, and children singing at the end.

  • Glow Worms and Tree Houses

    Nathan shares about his depression, and his acceptance of that as a chronic illness.  We share about the feeling like creating someone new inside for marriage, and also trying to balance with increased support.  We continue to define what makes now time safe.  We recognize our own progress, even though we cannot stop therapy or avoid the past.  We talk about trying to find the balance between avoidance and drowning, and what it is like having people who care... and accepting that care.  Nathan shares a vision of a treehouse.

Trigger warning for talk about abuse and neglect (no specific examples given or disclosed), and mention of parental drug abuse.
