| 0:00.0 | Hey, Desirving listeners, today I'm going to be reviewing a bunch of myths about attachment theory |
| 0:07.1 | and attachment styles. And I'm going to evaluate each one, talk about the research to some extent. |
| 0:13.9 | There's a lot to get into. There's a lot of myths to review. So I'm going to take my time on these. |
| 0:20.4 | My name is Dr. Kirk Honda. |
| 0:21.8 | I'm a therapist and a professor. |
| 0:24.1 | So someone sent me this website that is the website for Dr. Pascal Vertica, |

| 1:19.2 | contradicting some of the things that I say. |
| 1:22.9 | So let's get into it. |
| 1:24.2 | And I should also say that this episode will probably be a little rambly because I'm going to be |

| 1:35.7 | I have a lot of stuff in my head around the topics that I'm pretty sure a lot of the myths |
| 1:41.3 | have to do with, but if you're looking for a more organized episode, maybe this isn't the one for you. |
