Transcript:

"T.L.C. from a Ph.D!" "FEELINGS" with your host: Dr. Warren Fuzzy Today's Topic: HOLIDAY HEARTACHE! Warren: Hello again, friends! The holidays are fast approaching, and for MOST of us that means merry-making, tree-trimming, and lots of jolly cheer! ...But be warned: often these happy feelings are a FACADE, covering up a tragically empty life! Take ELLEN WRIGHT, for example! On the surface, this bleached-blonde teenager is as happy as content as a simple-minded family pet!! But UNDERNEATH, she's filed with self-loathing! Each time she looks in a mirror, she thinks (to use a psychiatric term): YUCK! How can we help Ellen> The answer is simple! Spend TIME with her! She needs companionship so that she's not alone with herself! Yes, that's the secret: stay close to Ellen! Keep an eye on her! Let her know: "I'm here for you!" Nate: Yo. Ellen: Do you MIND?
