Hi Doctor Eris,

I really like you but I do not like the way you treat your x playboy client. I think you are very critical of her looks, and honestly, you are very conservative....not everyone is like you. I think she can wear make up and be pretty and not look plain to make you happy. I would have found another therapist if it was me...she don't need to feel bad about herself. I think you are pretty but very plain and could use a little more spice. I don't want to be sound mean spirited but really you have not cared about her feelings...I think you need to rethink why you are putting her down...I thought she looked pretty and you made fun of her...almost petty. Well I said my peace...don't wound the wounded.

Hi Doctor Eris. I love the show. I wanted to reach out to you about TOFU and soy products in general. TOFU AND SOY PRODUCTS ARE A POWERFUL ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR. AS SUCH, THEY MIMIC ESTROGEN, AND CAN CAUSE LOW TESTOSTERONE IN MEN AND TEMPORARY INFERTILITY IN WOMEN. I heard this on an in depth segment on NPR. Other endocrine disruptors are associated with plastics, especially heated plastics. But soy is a natural and much more powerful endocrine disruptor. Please look into it. best, LB

I absolutely love the show, LA Shrinks.  And I find the segments with your, Dr. Eris the most interesting.  I find my connection to my husband very similar at least in the show, to yours. This is a great entry.  As you know I wrote to you about body image and I can't wait to see it on your blog. We must think positive and accept ourselves for who we are

Dr. Eris:

Thank you for sharing your personal journey and that of your clients with us. Wow. I think there are many take home messages that relate to myself and many others (is my assumption).  I really enjoy each episode and find it very enlightening vs. peeping into the lives of others.

Thanks for sharing. I will indeed have to give your books a read.

I really like this show!  I think it's interesting to watch other people discuss their problems, not just from a voyeuristic standpoint, but also to learn about the human condition and what makes us all tick.  Even though I might not share the same problem (like the guy who hates fat people, or the guy who can't stand that his twin brother is gay), it's still really fascinating to get inside someone's head and figure out what made them that way.

Dr Eris, you're doing a great job with your client who was the former Playmate.  I hope you are able to get through to her in the coming episodes.

What a beautiful message!

OK, watched the last episode and I'm going to Shrink the Shrink. Here's what I saw.

* You go to your husband to discuss a subject (reproduction) that you know he isn't going to be comfortable with. You greet the dog and kiss the dog and then put the dog in your lap. You never really connect physically with your husband and then pow! You bring up the subject of getting eggs and sperm checked.

* You want to bring your mother as a buffer/support in an experience that is as personal an intimate as one could be instead of experiencing it just with each other.

??? Doc.

You are so intelligent and a great therapist! I am glad that you now love yourself for who you are.
