0:00.0 | So Bob it's been a while since you've been on the podcast like a month maybe more and the listeners |
0:04.7 | love you so much. Oh wow. They're always requesting you. They send in questions just for you. |
0:10.5 | So really? Yeah, so let's let's read those questions. Okay. Let's answer them. Sure. |
0:15.4 | And see what comes out of our faces. Good. This is the psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host |
0:21.1 | Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist, a professor, and I'm an email reader. You are indeed. |
0:28.8 | Who are you? I am your friend for the last 26 years, something like that. And 24 years, |
0:35.6 | I always wonder how long it's been. I think I go through this every time I introduce myself. |
0:38.8 | I say the same stuff like, oh, we've been friends for 95. So it's summer of 95. So it would be |

1:37.3 | dysfunctional attachment styles. I'm in therapy, but he isn't. We both like to talk and share our |
1:43.7 | past with each other. So that's good. I've listened to your podcast about intimate partner violence, |
1:49.6 | but I just feel so scared and confused because I love him. But I don't want to be another |
1:56.4 | statistic. Bob, what do you think? So this idea of borderline and narcissism and the worry about |
2:03.4 | that. What do you think? Well, I don't really. I think we are not our diagnoses. So I kind of want to |
