| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Caitlin Van Moll, host of I Survived. |
| 0:03.3 | As you may have noticed, we're relaunching season one. |
| 0:06.1 | We love this show so much. |
| 0:07.7 | So we wanted to relaunch and hopefully find new listeners for the stories that we are so proud of. |
| 0:12.6 | One of my goals for this podcast was to show the many different ways that people cope with what happened to them. |
| 0:17.9 | Debbie was already in therapy when she was attacked. |
| 0:20.5 | But that therapist |
| 0:21.7 | didn't specialize in PTSD, so she found one that did. So she was seeing her original therapist and her |
| 0:27.4 | PTSD specialist at the same time. But I think that just shows it can take sometimes more than one |
| 0:32.5 | resource or one type of therapy to help you deal with what happened, and that's fine. And you'll hear all about |
| 0:38.8 | Debbie's story in episode four, the one that killed my husband. This episode contains descriptions |

| 1:09.0 | Debbie and Nino Puglisi met in their early 20s. |
| 1:12.2 | Debbie was just 21 and he was 24. |
| 1:15.1 | We met in a nightclub and it was back in 1970 that in the nightclub he went up to my friend |
| 1:23.3 | Bill Sharp and he said, are there any nice girls that I could take home to mom? And Bill |
| 1:30.4 | pointed me out and said, Debbie's a really nice girl. And he came over to me and we talked and |
| 1:37.4 | our relationship bloomed and we were married in May of 1973. Debbie and Ninaino were approaching their 25th wedding anniversary in April of 1998. |
| 1:49.8 | Nino was, first of all, family man. |
