Shelley Duvall - Phil McGraw Interview Analysis

There's no way he would be willing to review his actions over the decades and change for the betterment of others around him. To do so would require him to call into question if he was wrong about something he said/did. What he is doing has worked well for him, and as long as he isn't getting in trouble with the law for his behavior, he's not about to change. He reminds me a little of Donald Trump, always believing he is right no matter what. Dr. Phil simply has far more intelligence than Donald Trump, but comes off as being just as low class. I think some families in this world would refer to him as "new money," and they would be right, he got rich, but doesn't truly have the refinement of social graces despite his best efforts of trying to convince those around him and at home that he is cultured and refine, if just another "good ol' country boy."

[@djmandyland]

Sadly someone who lacks empathy can't just magically decide to have empathy and see their wrongs. People who lack empathy are a lost cause in this world and simply just shouldn't be engaged with. They exploit others and use them as tools. My ex did it to me for years then one day said "I have no need for you anymore" it was one of the grossest things ever. These ppl only care about using others as a tool to benefit them and if there's no more "use" for you in their eyes they devalue and discard. Best to just not engage because they never change.

One of the most difficult parts of bipolar is coming out of a manic episode into an overwhelming sense of shame and "Oh my God, what have I done?" That in turn feeds the depressive element, and around and around it goes.

I'll say what you couldn't Dr. Grande: The reason McGraw highlighted Ms. Duvall's illness in such an obvious and embarrassing way was to later appear as caring, loving, and generous to viewers, either to benefit himself personally, the show, or both.

And here's the thing, where all the fan bases and following and "Married At First Sight" same types of dodgy arse little God expert psychological tricksters and traders category keep missing, keep dropping the ball on, keep underestimating and generally failing to be acknowledging of, IS : The agriculturally born, raised and educated who understands that every single one, of the farmers, and land graziers cattle head, and every head, in their sheep herd, and the equipment, and supplies and sundries that goes with the whole livelihood and business, is a dollar sign.

Thank you, Doc! I appreciate your clarity and breakdown. Soooo many folks watch this show and then think that real life therapy will be just like it is on the show. I feel like the show should AT LEAST show a warning before and offer the show for viewers so that they aren’t push away from good quality therapy by watching the show OR triggered by his style of interview. That seems fair to me...especially since he calls himself a doctor, I think cares inside and the show set up looks exactly like a therapeutic psychotherapy session.
