| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I am your host, Kirk Honda. I'm a professor and a |
| 0:07.9 | licensed therapist. It's just me today. I thought I would pose a question to you and then I would go on |
| 0:13.7 | with the podcast. So let me pose a question to you. A couple comes into therapy, so they're married or |
| 0:20.1 | they're not or something, but a couple comes into therapy, so they're married or they're not or something, but a couple comes |
