| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. Today's episode is a deep dive on the concept of trauma dumping. |
| 0:07.1 | I have a serious problem with the way this term is being used online, and I'm going to get into it in this episode. |
| 0:16.4 | I think that there are some legitimate usages of this term, and I'm going to delineate between |
| 0:24.5 | the legitimate usages that I will absolutely stand behind, and I'm going to draw a line between |
| 0:30.9 | that and the vast majority of the usages that are not only just wrongheaded, but also harmful and stigmatizing. |
| 0:40.7 | So let's get into it. |
| 0:42.5 | This is the Psychology and Seattle podcast. |
| 0:45.1 | I am your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. |

| 1:43.9 | and they are on a date |
| 1:45.6 | and they're getting to know each other. So let's hear that conversation. You're saying all the |
| 1:51.0 | right things, Madison? I had a rough childhood. I want to hear about that. My parents never got |
| 1:59.5 | married actually. So they had me when they were 19. Wow. My mom, |
| 2:04.8 | she was really surrounded by a lot of drugs and she was in kind of a rehab program when she |
| 2:10.2 | met my dad and they had me an accident. Okay, so just chiming in here, that's the beginning of |
