The ‘group’ was self-monitoring by design, with the oral telling of one’s life, a history, at its core. Each history began with your earliest memory and ended on the day you entered the group and like Madame Defarge, all this information was knitted into the group’s collective conscious with every detail deemed significant. History sessions were recorded with the trainees passing the tapes on to their supervisors and then in turn to Seth.
Childhood trauma was the bedrock of therapy and the way in which Cora and the others in the group were controlled. Abandonment was a constant thread throughout Cora's life and the turmoil of one event in particular and the emotional roller coaster of unanswered questions it created. This episode delves into the inherent power and profound influence our childhood experiences wield over our lives and how Cora, "in the twilight before sleep, flies out the window, into the mystery of a sudden disappearance and asks why."
