Dr. Phil

sophiamarie — Fri, 06 Jun 2014 00:56:44 GMT

Lately, I've noticed at the end of some of his shows, he calls Robin up to talk to "abused" women. I know she is an advocate and has a foundation for victims of abuse, but does she even have a degree??? Why is he calling her up so much lately??? It may be just me, but her voice is so grating, I don't know how he can stand it. LOL

Sometimes the best advice for abused women and children are those who've been abused, degreed or not.

I don't watch that show so I can't comment on his calls.

Robin has been abused?

She does not have a degree.

He's nothing but a quack himself - why not invite the wife up too???

She usually is shilling for one of their other products too.

I was replying to the comment in the OP about whether the wife had a degree.

I don't think Dr. Phil is a Quack and he does give some good advice.....Oprah gave him a wonderful deal and I do believe in his heart he wants to help people. No telling how many he helps for free.

OK, I was a little confused by your answer, but totally agree with you that the best people to give advice are those who have gone through it and understand.

You are very sweet and trusting...

But Dr. Phil is in it for Dr. Phil. He would sell snake oil if he could make a profit.

It's possible he started out that way but he's in it for the money now.

He does give some good, common sense advice. Especially to moms who over-enable their teens, etc. Also, I'm very fond of The Steve Harvey TV Show. He has an abundant amount of common sense. I thoroughly enjoy his show.

Degrees don't guarantee that someone is ethical or honest or even that educated.

I think her heart is in the right place. She created an app for abused women to have in their phone. It dials the contact people, selected by the women, letting them know they are leaving and need help immediately.

I believe she said her father drank a lot when she was a child and things were dicey at home. Her foundation is named after her mother.

I agree, nunya. I believe that Robin serves in some capacity with the End the Silence to domestic Violence, so it's not unusual for her to be on stage for these types of shows.

As for the app she created, it certainly can help those in need.
