I'm with you. I feel a similar way about Dr. Laura. I really like Dr. Laura and her message of personal responsibility and kids first. And a lot of times she'll say something that gives me something to think about re. how I look at things. But she's got that "just do it" attitude that I find depressing. I remember once she was talking about a book of holocaust survivors and how they managed to pick themselves up and make something of their lives. And she was basically saying that everyone could do the same, whatever their past trauma. And I drafted this whole letter to her about how everyone wasn't the same, that biologically we have different predispositions, and she needed to take that into account.
I dunno. That approach appeals to my logic, but it tends to end up just adding a layer of guilt to my other troubles.
