I think Dr. Phil gets a bad rap sometimes

Yeah, I know this is an odd, random thing to post about with what’s going on in the world and with all the problems people here have the last thing they are worried about is Dr. Phil.
Anyways, I think he’s a good guy and does a lot of good. He is on 5 days a week and sits with people of every race and background and he manages to give good advice and remain the voice of reason the majority of the time. What he does is difficult and vey few people could be as successful at as he is.

He’s been on the air 23 years and he’s bound to make mistakes but he does it rarely. Some people judge his whole career by a few mistakes he made. Should he have had Shelly Duval on his program? Maybe not but despite his motives he was trying to help her. I don’t think he’s perfect but he can be allowed a few mistakes. With the whole Daniela Bregoli situation it made him look bad but look how she ended up. She’s a multi millionaire now and owes it to the exposure Dr. Phil gave her. I think his support of Trump was a huge mistake but taking politics out of the equation he has faced the most difficult, complicated situations on his show and gave some good advice. All this is just my two cents.

She gives interviews sometimes. She was on Jimmy Kimmel. I don’t know if you get that channel but you can see the interview on YouTube. It was pretty good.

I don’t like how Dr Phil promotes the troubled teen industry. It’s sickening. But I like some of his episodes, just the teen ones make me so sick

I haven’t seen much of Dr. Phil, but doesn’t a lot of his advice amount to “just knock it off” or telling people to pull up their bootstraps?

He’s had thousands of guests on. I don’t know if he limits his advice to “just knock it off” or telling people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I don’t think over 20 years of advice is limited to just those two (or very similar) things.

I only know him by reputation. 20 years is a long time. My mom really likes him.
