| 0:09.6 | Welcome to this episode of Therapy and Theology. Let's get started. |
| 0:15.4 | Hey, friend. We know relationships are wonderful until they're not. Lisa Tarkers also understands |
| 0:21.4 | this, and that's exactly why she wrote her new book, Get Foundry's and Get Bies. Although the |
| 0:25.6 | details of your relationships might be different, her hope in prayer is that she can come along |
| 0:29.9 | side to you with compassion as a friend to show you that it isn't unloving to set a boundary, |

| 1:43.0 | Joel, you're going to bring the deep theology, Jim, brings the therapeutic wisdom and education, |
| 1:49.6 | and I bring the issues and sometimes Google definitions. Here's what I found from psychology today. |
| 1:59.4 | Emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior, and if you're a note-taking person, I would love |
