Such an inspiring, enlightening, and engaging podcast. For free?!?? Unbelievable. I have changed my awareness of my own past and relationships. These episodes are short and so powerful! Amazing!

Is this really a psychologist?

Lets all remember that Oprah also loved Dr Phil. This doctor makes lots of assumptions about this parents experience, claims to understand and then makes it sound like it can be compared to parents with neurotypical kids. Completely arrogant and seems to know it all. A well trained psychologist would know not to make these mistakes. She sounds awfully confident but don’t be fooled…
