I don’t like Dr. Laura’s answers to callers with problems.
Tonight, this radio talk show host on 560AM-KSFO has some good answers for people with relationship problems. But most of the answers are thrown back at the caller. I don’t like this `humanistic approach` in psychology, which leaves the person probably more confused prior to calling.
If people were to talk to my Maw personally, her answers would hit home base each time! And the same words are VERY similar to the ones that psychiatrists (or psychologist) would tell their patients: If you can resolve your problems by talking with the person(s) who cause(s) you grief, pain, troubles, heartaches, etc., then you will have solved your life’s event(s).
Honestly, I don’t like how Dr. Laura does NOT always hear the caller’s problems and then HANGS UP on them without regard to the potential for the caller’s well being. She makes them THINK more and less concerned for their FEELINGS. She seems to side the guys more than women, who are already hormonally nuts.
Folks, if you have problems, the best thing is to find out if you FEEL (or sense with your guts feelings) if the answers provided by Dr. Laura jives with your situation. When you get cold feet, something is not right. When you get tummy aches, something is not right.
That means the answers she gives may NOT be the correct course of actions to take. The bottom line is that if you can do the RIGHT thing (which is to protect YOURSELF and YOUR kids, etc. within the laws of the lands) then you know already what to do.
I heard the part about the 18 year guy who was abused and rape by a violent father. Dr. Laura asks him if he was violent or if he will become like his father if he becomes a dad, too. But she was pressed for time over the airwaves and once again threw the problems back into the caller’s earhole.
I don’t find it fair at all for Dr. Laura to `talk back` so harshly at the callers. There are calmer ways within a few sentences and CAREFULLY chosen words that would address the situation without hanging up on the callers.
When the callers are NOT in agreement with Dr. Laura, that means the broad did NOT satisfy the caller’s answers. When the callers are NOT allowed to fully complete their sentences or thoughts, that means the broad is NOT willing to listen.
Folks, just listen to others around you. If strike one person said the same things as strike two person and strike three person, then you are going to strike out with Dr. Laura. The answers are within the immediate circle of family and friends and sometimes the answers are the SAME from outside the ones you know, love or HATE.
