0:00.0	Hey, deserving listeners. It's just me today. I thought I would read a patron email. This is the
0:05.6	Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I'm a professor and a therapist.
0:12.4	This is an email from patron Meg. She writes, hello, psych in Seattle friends. I discovered your
0:18.8	podcast a couple of months ago and I love it and have been happily binge listening and I've been
0:25.6	learning a ton. Also, bouncing the lay person and professional perspectives off of each other
0:31.4	really helps round the information out. Umberto is awesome and I love the random solutions he comes
0:37.3	up with on the fly and Paulette's witty writer sense of humor is a beautiful addition. Just jumping
0:45.1	in here. They have been very busy lately. That's probably why you haven't heard much from them on

1:30.4	on the island like that. Dr. Honda, I'm a bit in awe of anyone who can spend their day immersed in
1:36.2	the enigma of a family. An individual's mental health is fascinating but the thought of trying to
1:42.0	understand all the facets of family and nudge them towards some semblance of health seems overwhelming.
1:49.2	Yeah, just chiming in here. Yeah, it is overwhelming frankly. I mean individuals are to some
1:54.4	extent overwhelming but families are particularly overwhelming. We just had an open house at the
2:00.1	university in which prospective students came and asked questions of me to decide whether or not
2:07.6	they want to come to the program. And something that I often and reminded of as I'm explaining
2:15.3	why I became a family therapist, why I became a married family therapist is I'll say first I'll say
