System Speak: Complex Trauma and Dissociation episodes

  • Now Time is Mine
    We share about the therapist challenging us with the question: what is safe? We share our friend’s answer and discuss what we learned. We share different alters’ ideas about when we feel safe. An argument between Kassi and JohnMark is shared. Some experiences are mentioned in passing only, including foster care and the death of parents, but neither are discussed at length. The episode closes with a cello piece by Em (piano baseline by the husband).

  • Triggers
    Sasha talks about how hard therapy can be, even when it’s good. We talk about the workbook chapter that discussed Triggers, and share an example for the workbook homework. Due to the nature of the chapter content, there is reference to flashbacks and memory work and triggers. While no abuse memories are disclosed, there is reference to foster care and reference to a house fire and reference to church and the death of parents and the abuse dynamic.

  • The Duck Pond

    Emma reflects after therapy was so hard that we ran out of our session (which was about getting to know others inside).

  • Facing Memory Time
    Emma shares about a difficult session in therapy. She faces her past, that DID developed because of trauma. She talks about learning to get to know the others, rather than just information about them. There are ducks and geese in the background, and she is interrupted by a tornado siren (we are safe).

  • Family Trauma
    We share about a difficult morning of parenting, and what it’s like to have so many with so much trauma in one house. The husband teaches the children about trauma and triggers, and processes with them the morning our family experienced. We talk about the difference between big feelings and actually being in danger. Some examples of domestic violence and abuse are mentioned in context of the discussion, as well as some discussion about the police and foster care.
