| 0:00.0 | Ariom Shanti. What's that? What's that? That's a relaxation prayer. I can also pray. I thought maybe |
| 0:06.8 | I should say we're already recording so Rebecca is giving herself a relaxation prayer because she |
| 0:16.0 | knows that we are about to talk about the conflict in Israel and Gaza. But let's introduce the |
| 0:22.7 | podcast. My name is Dr. Kirkana. I'm a therapist and professor and this is the psychology and Seattle |
| 0:27.8 | podcast. Who are you, Rebecca? I am Rebecca Bloom. I have a private practice in South |
| 0:32.9 | Seattle where I specialize in adults with complex trauma. I've got my DNA tested. I'm 98.6% |
| 0:40.0 | Ashkenazi 2. I grew up in a liberal Jewish, first-generation West Coast family that had been in |
| 0:49.2 | Chicago family. First three generations and previous to that came from the Ukraine and Poland, |
| 0:54.2 | which I've learned was once the same place. We're going to speak. I'm going to attempt to speak |
| 1:00.5 | from my experience today. Should I just go for it? We both know that we could receive hate mail |

| 1:30.7 | October 24th, just in case something happens between now and the time this gets posted that is |

| 1:48.0 | Instagram me your different opinion, just know that I probably won't write you back. I'm not here to |
| 1:53.5 | convince anybody of anything. I'm just here to tell my story of how I got to my place and talk |
| 2:00.4 | about what it's like having been for the last two and a half weeks of Jewish therapists, |
| 2:05.7 | to Jewish clients who are all over the map and supporting my Jewish friends and my activist |
| 2:11.1 | friends and all the choices they've had to make. So here's what I wrote on the 11th which feels |
| 2:15.6 | like a million years ago. All day I'm in avoiding addressing the explosive conflict in Israel, |
