Eddie, Frank and others in “Unfinished Business”

Eddie

It's not normal, right? I have these moments that are good. We save someone from dying, my kid does something awesome. It's moments where I should be happy or proud or both. I know that. Just don't feel it.

There's no one right way to deal with trauma. All the first responders I counsel process it differently.

And yet you all ask the same questions and press the same buttons. I mean, this is my third session...

You're not finding therapy helpful?

Maddie

I used to. After Doug died, I did it all: talk therapy, group therapy, cognitive processing. Spent six months just talking about my feelings.

I'm sorry none of it helped you.

Maddie

What makes you think it didn't?

'Cause you're sitting in that chair.
