| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. Today, I'm going to answer a bunch of questions that you all submitted |
| 0:04.8 | about abuse. So let's get to it. This is the psychology and Seattle podcast and your host, |
| 0:10.8 | Dr. Kirk Honda, I'm a therapist and a professor. Before getting into it, I just want to say that if you |
| 0:17.0 | are yourself or you know anyone who is suffering from abuse or domestic violence that you can call |
| 0:23.0 | 9-1-1 or you can call the domestic violence hotline, the national domestic violence hotline, |
| 0:29.5 | all you got to do is just Google national domestic violence hotline or just the hotline and they |
| 0:35.0 | will be able to help you. This first question I think a lot of these questions are from the Facebook |
| 0:40.3 | fan page. You should be able to see a link below or just go to Facebook and go to psychology and |
| 0:45.8 | Seattle fan page. Jessa, she asks, I often hear the word abuse either overused or not used appropriately. |
| 0:55.6 | How is abuse defined from a psychological perspective? How can someone know if they are in an |

| 1:30.9 | others instead of describing their situation in more detail. They just will use the word abuse |
| 1:36.7 | because they're hoping that people will just understand what they mean by that. Not to say that |
| 1:41.1 | people are lying but maybe some people are using the word abuse when they should be using something |
| 1:46.7 | like hurtful or something like that. But let's define it. So first I just want to talk about |
| 1:51.9 | child abuse. You're not asking Jessa about child abuse but I want to talk about that for a second |
| 1:57.7 | because we'll probably get into that later and while we're talking about definitions here. |
| 2:02.2 | So according to my state, Washington state, the law defines child abuse as the following. |
| 2:08.6 | So this is RCW or revised code of Washington 26.44.020. Abuse or neglect means sexual abuse, |
