Tuesday June 23, 2009 – Classic Dr. Phil: Mixed Signals

Statistics tell us that 80 percent of all communication is non-verbal. Do you ever wonder if your body language turns people off? Does your handshake scare people away? You never get a second chance to make a good first impression, so find out what messages you’re sending — without saying a word. Karen says she was taught to have a firm handshake and to be independent. Is she simply a self-confident woman, or are her actions driving men away? Plus, learn how one couple makes doing the little things mean more than saying, “I love you.”  (Original airdate: October 25, 2002)

I remember and enjoyed this episode.  I really did take a lot away from it because I do feel that I send mix signals all the time.  This is a great one if you are looking to make some adjustments in how you communicate with the people in your life.

Thursday June 25, 2009 – Classic Dr. Phil: What Do We Do Now?

Tragedy can change lives in an instant, often leaving us wondering what to do next. In this powerful episode, Dr. Phil discusses strategies for coping with personal disaster. Drew and Amanda said they were crippled with guilt after the death of their 3-year-old son. Although the child’s drowning was accidental, Amanda said she felt like she didn’t deserve to enjoy life. Plus, Geri’s husband, Scott, suffered from bipolar disorder and took his own life. Geri said she struggled with anger and couldn’t forgive her husband for leaving her. If you have difficulty moving on after a loss, and you punish yourself for things outside of your control, don’t miss this important show!   (Original airdate: May 30, 2003)

This episode aired not long after I had my third child and I could not stop crying.  The suffering of these family members is so gut wrenching and raw that it was almost hard to watch.  This really is an important show to watch because I believe that so many of us blame ourselves for things we cannot change.  If you feel that way, make sure you tune in and hear what Dr. Phil has to say!

    I am watching the woman with he adorable child who has a very big weight problem. I want to tell her that my children had simillar problems. When my sons reached puberty, they started to play “dance dance revolution” and consummed less calories than what they worked off in exercise. As well my began to eat more and more salads. He is now very tall, then and athletic.
    I would like to also say that Splenda and the other sweeteners except have Aspartame in them. So does diet soda. Please do not give your child anything with Aspartame in it. It has been proven to cause headaches, other illness and to actually put weight on. Some medications put on weight also as they absorb calcium which helps to metabolize our systems. Prevacid causes me to gain weight. Best of luck.

    I also would like to say that I have replaced Prevacid with Omeprazole and I metabolize better now. Also for my bones, I take a Calcium w/D supplement.
    The other sweetner I use instead of Aspartame sweetners is Sweet and Low.
    Also, it seems children are maturing faster and younger. Boys go through puberty as young as 7 yrs and maybe younger. My daughter matured three years younger than I did and she developed migraines young from a hormonal imabalance as well. Diet and exercise fixed that too. Stay away from nitrates and nitrites in foods. Hot dogs and chocolate are two of them.
    Hormones in meats now also contribute. Weight watchers is a diet where also they encourage larger amounts of the right foods because the body will store fat if it thinks you are starving it.
