"Dr. J's Field Guide: TEENS 101, Fall Out or Fall Under" Backstage with Dr. Laurie Johnson, LPC

Some days, I find myself hoping that this is the day I get reviewed by the universe. Today was one of those days. I published my book, Dr. J's Field Guide: TEENS 101, on Amazon. I took a stand. I said, don't you dare throw out your teen, because of her pregnancy or his homosexuality. I called out parents for being wounders and anger-feeders. I bashed the stupid term, "troubled child." I stung teachers and coaches who use "gay" "girls" and "sissies" as slurs or "motivators."I also came down hard on the  affluent cliques at my kids' school.  Do I expect fallout? Sure. But, if that means there is one less shovel of dirt to fall in a grave of a bullycide or anorexic teen--so be it.
