| 0:00.0 | This is self-work and I'm Dr. Margaret Rutherford. |
| 0:13.6 | At self-work, we'll discuss psychological and emotional issues common in today's world and what |
| 0:18.8 | to do about them. |
| 0:19.8 | I'm Dr. Margaret and self-work is a podcast dedicated to you taking just a few minutes today for your own self-work. |
| 0:29.0 | Hi, I'm Dr. Margaret and welcome to self-work. This is my seventh podcast I'm excited to say. I'm a |
| 0:35.4 | clinical psychologist and I have been practicing in Fable Arkansas for a little over |

| 0:55.8 | you bring it up, why do you reveal? |

| 1:10.1 | really struggle to see whether that has any value or not. |
| 1:15.5 | I do want to caution you, however, if you have abuse in your history, it would be easy for |
| 1:20.6 | this podcast to trigger you, and we certainly don't want to do that. |
| 1:24.0 | The last thing I want to do is re-victimize anyone who already has been a victim in his or |
| 1:28.4 | her life. |
| 1:29.6 | So listen carefully and cautiously. The format today is going to be that first we're going to |
| 1:35.0 | be talking about just some basic statistics about abuse. We're going to talk about |
| 1:40.1 | reasons why you should do it or why you could do it, what good can come of it. |
| 1:45.2 | We're going to discuss why people hang on to blame in a sense that it was their fault. |
