Re: What do you all think of Dr Laura

I love her. She helped me to understand how my wrong thinking was causing much of my misery. I was blaming an awful lot of the lousy stuff which was going on in my life, on others. By listening to her calls and resonses I began to see how important personal responsibility is...and to stop blaming others and take control of my life.

Yes, at first I thought she was a bit harsh and truly uncaring. Then, I heard her answer a similar objection on one of her shows and it made all the sense in the world.

Her answer to the objection was that on her show she has a very limited amount of time to guide someone into proper thinking toward their situation. Sometimes, being hard nosed was needed to get the person's attention and focus it on the part of the problem that that person needed to change the most.

When you listen to her, if you are truly openminded about her style, you will see that she does truly care about the person she is helping. And no...she doesn't have patience for whiners and non-backbone types. But that's okay.
