You have to admire Dr Phil's commitment. Oprah saw a star in the making. I bet there are lots of behavioral Psychologists, Social Workers and Therapists that watch Dr. Phil, but not all admit it.
I'll probably get my wife, (cognitive-behavioral psychologist to collaborate on this blog with me, since she can provide a psychologist's perspective.

Speaking about being at the top, Dr Phil helped Dave Letterman beat Jay Lenno in the ratings for the first time since Dave's post 9/11 show.

It's nice to be at the top. Dr Phil's show earned a nomination for an Emmy. Not bad for a first year show. This news is a bit delayed here on my BLOG, but I can't keep up with all the news ;-)

Special Link: The Dr Phil Soundboard. Lot's of quoteable sounds that create hours of enjoyment... OK , minutes.

Melinda is beyond a perfectionist. I'm no Psychologist, that's my wife, the therapist. But to my lay opinion, Melinda has OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). Her counting of sylables seems to have her crossing the line from perfectionizm to an obsessive behavior. I don't have high hopes without a combination of desire to change and a bit of CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy).
The couple JaVae and John are struggeling to be perfect, but strangely they can relax with each other. I wonder how that evolved. How did they manage to break down each other's resistance to being "on" all the time. I can't wait to seel the follow-up and find out if John got "goosed" by all his co-workers. They really let loose. That was a funny part of the show.

OK how could these people have such a serial marriage problem?
Stephanie has no clue.
Joy gets it but has some heavy issues to get over.
Cheryl is getting an idea of her own identity. Three marriages, barely scratching the surface.
The "mission of self discovery" is Dr Phil's prescription for Cheryl and the marriage musketeers.

Here we go! Ask Dr Phil.
Obsessive Compulsive Behavior. This woman has a paralizing fear of fire. It's something my wife would treat using cognitive behavioral therapy. Dr Phil is gonna try to get her to reason it out. That's a steep hill to climb. Tired, gonna watch the tivo tomorrow.

Today's episode "Pet Peeves" is a repeat I think. That pack rat guy, Roger really doesn't get it. He has no good reason to keep his stuff. Lost cause.
"Get it" rating 2 out of 10
The next guest, Dan who has no self control, blurting out every opinion, was entertaining. He may change.
"Get it" rating 6 out of 10
The late procrastinator Shawn finally realizes that it is a control thing.
"Get it" rating 7 out of 10
Mark and Amanda, OK the nail spitting is a bit whacky, and $300 shoes. They will just live with each other the way they are.

Today may or may not be a changing day in your life. It depends if you watch Dr. Phil today.
I've been watching Dr Phil since the Oprah days as a secondary fan (my wife is the primary fan). So, Dr. Phil Grown on you. Since I've been playing with these Blogs, I figured I'd do a running commentary on the show.
