I tend to disagree and am infuriated with the callous comments from Tom, Mick and Isaac. It's obvious that the aforementioned never had pyschotherapy, are not good listeners but simple and simply wait their turn to speak. It's obvious that Dr Pelusi is the opposite of "Trite" had anyone listened to the show. In these trying times, the ability to start a valid dialogue in the hopes to better one's perspective, while finding the best solution to cope, is a comment worth reading like, LRC.
In these tough economic times I think "fiscal betrayal,"(as coined by Dr. Pelusi), is a significant, but frequently unlabeled issue. If more people become aware of the concept and voiced it to their partner--"I feel fiscally betrayed" --it would provide a first step in solving the problem vs. the merry-go-round of nasty comments and resentful feelings. Pelusi is on target.
This "doctor" is clueless...horrible at this radio stuff. All he hears are the buzz words...
I wish to second Mick's comment with one word, "trite".
Do I pass these people on the street? Maybe I ought to get a gun license!!
This guy shows why psychotherapy gets a bad name.
It's amazing how men are expected to bring everything to a "relationship" whereas women are expected to bring nothing but their wombs! A man is still expected to be a provider, and a good listener (never a talker), and a romantic lover, etc. A women doesn't feel she has to bring anything other than her womb. The one thing a man needs if he wants something called "family."
But is it fair? And is it enough?
