Privacy and Boundaries

Now, if Britteny had asked for Dr. Phil's help, or if her family had asked him to intervene, that would be one thing, but barging in on her uninvited is purely rude. Personally, I am thrilled a pyschologist is involved, I am not so thrilled it's Dr. Phil. The poor girl needs real psychological help of a kind that, I am quite certain, is beyond Dr. Phil's skill set.

She Fits in My Expertise

In 1989, I went to work at a hospital where I helped troubled teens with all kinds of issues, from sexual abuse, familial allienation, and mental disorders to drug and alcohol addictions. Girls doing things outside of the media's eyes, that are very similar to Brittney.

Then, in 1996, I went to work at Charter Hospital of Dallas where I learned all about Dissociative Disorders and other Trauma related disorders. In 1997 I co-directed a Trauma unit at Timberlawn hospital.

I learned enough about Trauma and Dissociation to write a book. Life for someone traumatized results in pretty crazy-appearing behavior. Brittny Spears behavior falls right into the category of those who have been traumatized.

Prayers for Brittney

I pray for that girl. She needs someone with trauma experience to help her. My fear is that her family will get their way and take away her rights without giving her the help she desperately needs.

I was never a fan or cared much about her until all this started. Now my heart goes out to her. She has been used by her family and the media to sell magazines and make millions of dollars. She is lost little girl who needs help. Doesn't anyone see that?

Tell Me What You Think

What do you think? Do you think she is just as spoiled media star acting out for attention, or does she need real mental help?
