I'm sorry but Dr. Laura sometimes dishes out advice that is way too harsh IMHO. You mark my words. One of these days someone is going to get seriously hurt as a result of her advice. She orders people around without any knowledge or concern for deep hurts and wounds in people's hearts. Her flip comments and orders are to be feared. That's my take on it. Yes, she does a lot of good when it comes to simple every-day silly problems. But once in a while a pathetic hurting soul calls in and gets yelled at or ordered to do something that may backfire. I think it's a dangerous business. Dr. Laura is NOT God Almighty. She doesn't know the true heart of any caller.

I've heard her a bit harsh at times.

HOWEVER, PEOPLE ARE PRETTY RESISTENT TO CHANGE and pretty resilient. Even the pathetic mangled souls are usually very tenaciously that way in at least a few ways.

Sometimes it takes some jarring comments to jerk people out of their deadly ruts.

Life is a risk. Any kind of advice to anyone based on any foundation--even The Bible--can be very risky.

I think on the whole, she does a good job. I'd rather be offended and jarred out of my deadly rut than left there out of 'niceness.'
