0:06.6 | So let's get into it. This is the psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host, |
0:10.9 | Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist and a professor. You might want to listen to |
0:14.7 | episode one before you listen to this one because I'm going to assume that you heard that. |
0:19.4 | And just right from the start, if you know anyone who is suffering from abuse or you're |
0:23.1 | suffering from abuse yourself, you can certainly call 9-1-1 or the authorities, but you can also |
