0:00.0	So one of the things that might confuse people sometimes, and I've heard this before, is they don't
0:04.6	understand why people stay in an abusive relationship. They'll hear about someone that has been
0:12.2	in an abusive marriage for 20 years, and they, from the outside, will judge the victim or the survivor and think, why did you
0:24.6	stay in that relationship for 20 years? And I suppose I used to have a similar judgment before I was a
0:31.8	therapist. It just seemed very foreign to me. And as I became a clinician and started to learn about domestic violence,
0:41.3	or they also call it now intimate partner violence, when people are, I started actually working

1:49.4	Hi, I'm Rebecca Bloom.
1:51.0	I am an art therapist, and I also do somatic-based work somewhere in Seattle.
1:58.4	Yeah, you're moving your office, but you're going to stick to downtown.
2:01.6	Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. So you brought a handout here that I've seen many times,
2:08.6	the wheel of power and control. Would you like to talk about it, Rebecca? Yeah. So often I have
2:14.4	heard from clinicians that they don't work with, it's mostly women, and what
