Dr. Phil

Therapy? I don't think so. All I see is a guy who likes to yell at his guests. I sure as heck ain't gonna pay a therapist for that kind of treatment so why are the networks paying for this kind of show. I was raised to believe that when a person is yelling at you - just walk away. Dr. Phil may understand psychology but he sure don't know how to treat others well. He likes to belittle others by calling them "a loser", and "you're worthless". Maybe this is for ratings but if I'm going to buy therapy it won't be from someone who puts me down.

Sometimes Dr. Phil finds a subject that was never up for discussion. Well if you are looking for a needle in a haystack. And he is absolutely good at his "one-liners" in his shows. Sometimes it feels like a rerun, but then one notice that the stage is different and the people saying their lines different. It is "troubled teens", People getting ripped off by fake people. I think a show called "Catfish" has that on the show. Gullible old people. I think it is time to find a new topic. Or is that just NOT POSSIBLE ! What is not possible is to rate Dr Phil Show more than "2" (two). Promotes his own books and his wife's project a.s.o. It has become a commercial promotion program for products. And it is the same ones all the time. Time to close shop, OK !?

Saw some shows that triggered me to raise my rating from 1 to 2.

What Therapy is: -confidential, a tool to help vulnerable people process their trauma

What Therapy is not: -a man who takes shouts at vulnerable people on national television, breaking them down, 'putting them in their place', taking sides in a conflict to craft a narrative, a clown who brings his wife on the show to shill makeup. On 'Dr. Phil' you speak when spoken to, take humiliation like a good girl, and tell the audience you are grateful for the 'tough love'.

Phil justifies parading mental health issues on television by claiming that the real healing happens at 'the Ranch'- a prison camp type of institution that traumatized survivors want to have shut down.

Phil McGraw is vile and real psychotherapists cannot stand him. He gives a bad name to Oprah Winfrey by extension. P. S. : look up the reviews on Glassdoor of people who worked on the show, he's a despot.

I lost respect from him after he bailed those six girls that beat up Victoria Lindsay out of jail. Where's the outrage there?! I say we cancel his show for that and put those six girls back in prison. They need therapy alright, shock therapy! All that was over the boy. When someone cheats on you, suck it up. They should be focusing on their school work rather than boys. There's people with kids missing and they are crying over a boy.

This show stirs up a lot of negative emotions within me for Dr. Phil,

but mostly its embarrassment in general. I am embarrassed for

adults that need to come on his show and listen to him load spout

stuff that is already common knowledge. Embarrassed at myself

for flipping through the channels and stopping on him for just a

few minutes to give him the time of day. What a big mistake.

Can't people just talk things out without having this mentally-challenged pretentious, "doctor" telling them what's ok?

The saddest thing of all is it seems like most of his guests are

extremely well-off, intelligent people who can work their own

problems out through time. I sincerely wish they wouldn't waste

their time on his show. I even feel like I'm wasting my time now,

but I had to balance out the gushing reviews for this man.

If you're in a really good mood and you feel like diminishing it,

watch Dr. Phil. He's useless, pretentious, and boring. "Dr. Drew"

would be a much better show.
