| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. It's just me today. I'm going to talk about conversion therapy. |
| 0:11.6 | I'm going to talk about the history that goes back pretty far. I'm going to talk about |
| 0:18.0 | what it is and I'm going to talk about the current state of the laws and ethics regarding |
| 0:24.3 | conversion therapy, which is the therapy that people will use. It's a word for the therapies |
| 0:31.2 | that people will use to try to change a gay person straight or a bisexual person straight. |
| 0:37.9 | That's what I'm going to talk about today, but let's introduce the podcast. First, this is the |
| 0:42.0 | podcast called Psychology in Seattle. I am your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist and a |
| 0:49.2 | professor and I want to start with a story about a childhood friend of mine that I've talked |

| 1:49.2 | chat. And then in 2008, he and I met up for lunch and I remember and I've talked about this in |
| 1:56.1 | the podcast before, but just to reiterate that story was that he at the time in 2008, he was |
| 2:05.3 | a media presence because of conversion therapy actually. And we were talking over lunch and he |
| 2:14.5 | and I had just started thinking, I had just started listening to podcasts actually. I probably, |
| 2:19.7 | I don't know, six months a year earlier, had started listening to the few podcasts that were |
| 2:24.8 | out at the time. And I was talking with him about it and I was like, you know what? I just had this |
