Greetings Soror6!!! I agree with you 100%. Now I have something to confess. I too am one if those people who is late most of the time. Before that particular show aired, I agreed with just about EVERYTHING that Dr. Phil said. But when the tables were turned and the issue related to ME, I guess I became defensive because deep down I knew that Dr. Phil stepped on my toes.
The approaches that he uses are much like the approaches that I use in counseling at-risk teens. I've been thinking about this since the show aired. And after consulting my supervisor (she's a good friend) and chatting with you, I understand CLEARLY where he is coming from (really I understood when he first said it)
To be honest, in certain situations, it's hard for me to take my own advice. I guess it's time for me to "face the demon" which causes me to do this and I can see how this may be a way for me to get attention. However, I'm still trying to see the ARROGANCE in chronic lateness.
BUT I'M WORKING ON IT!!!
Thanks
