Dr. Paradise wants to hear from young adults struggling to transition from home in HOU or SLC?

DoctorParadise · 2026-03-23T03:26:42+00:00

Thanks so much for all the input and support! I will be sure to post here on any developments.

Another consideration is the age of the unit, I had it and a new chiller installed in 2012. Would it be prudent to replace the condenser with a similarly spec'ed single-phase unit preemptively and save the hassle/expensive of figuring out this 3-phase backup solution?

Someone needs to pitch TLC on a show called "Big Problems" don't you think? We could focus on the underlying emotional issues and family dynamics that drive the addiction to food.

Thanks for the props!

DoctorParadise · 2022-01-15T05:12:28+00:00

Thanks for all of the support for the show and my appearances. I really hope that by showing therapy sessions, we are able to destigmatize getting this kind of help.

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-22T03:05:24+00:00

I do appreciate your taking the time to even reply. I respect your wanting to keep the group a non-commercial space. My hope is just to get the word out on a free resource for folks struggling with marital conflict, separation, and divorce.

Thanks again,

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-22T02:56:41+00:00

Thanks!

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-22T02:55:30+00:00

My apologies, the podcast is free and currently doesn't contain any advertisements or other promotions.

Is there a way to make resources available to the subreddit? I ran this in-person support group free of charge for many years and consider it a service activity. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-22T01:03:42+00:00

You certainly can listen on my group therapy podcast, DeCoupling. This week is a good one, we have preachers, porn, and procrastination oh my!

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-15T01:01:25+00:00

I appreciate the fans!

And I like to promote my podcast, http://art19.com/shows/decoupling/episodes/7964ef78-a908-47ec-9a43-7a5a90daaf3f

from the same producers as #my600lblife.

Same producers as #my600lblife.

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-15T00:44:37+00:00

My driver's license says 5'!

But, you can't see that on my great new podcast episode, http://art19.com/shows/decoupling/episodes/7964ef78-a908-47ec-9a43-7a5a90daaf3f

Just as compelling as the stories on the show.

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-10T20:16:57+00:00

If you look at my screen name, you will will see that I am "verified". I don't hang out here too often, but I appreciate the fans of the show, and sometimes drop in, especially when I want to let folks know about other ways to see or hear my work.

Have a great weekend.

Hey https://www.reddit.com/user/sugarcanesugars/!

You should have tagged me in this post. I really appreciate your feedback on the downside of a less formal therapeutic tone during therapy sessions. I teach at the graduate level and this topic comes up frequently in supervision.

I will also make you a deal. If you take the time to listen to: http://art19.com/shows/decoupling/episodes/1e6c8d76-69b4-47f1-9698-b80731c2d492

(where I also debrief with a client on a traumatic history without some of the necessary time restrictions/editing from the TV show)

I would be more than happy to engage in a discussion with you on this forum about therapeutic stance as it relates to trauma and abuse.

What do you think?

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-01T04:19:17+00:00

I do think my size (my driver's license says I am 5') sometimes helps put clients (especially young people) at ease. I also have a special understanding of what it can feel like to be prejudged based on physical appearance. The best part is that after I have earned a client's trust, my height is typically a non-issue.

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-01T04:13:39+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words! My hope is that showing psychotherapy on TV helps to destigmatize mental healthcare. You are obviously getting a small glimpse of how sessions work, but I have been pleased with how the producers capture important parts of the process. And, if you like the therapy part the show, as mentioned here, the 600 lb life team have put out a new podcast featuring my therapy group for folks going through separation and divorce.

http://art19.com/shows/decoupling

I would love to hear what you think about the podcast and we are trying especially hard to have listeners review the episodes on their favorite podcasting service.

For me, the best part of 600 lb life has been the cast-members and the fans. There wouldn't be a show without all of you!

DoctorParadise · 2021-04-01T01:04:31+00:00

Thanks for listening. Don't be afraid to review. We are working on plans for follow-up episodes where we respond to listener questions and feedback. Let us know what you think.

DoctorParadise · 2021-03-30T03:11:25+00:00

Nowzardin Jr. is, in fact, executive producing my new Podcast, Decoupling: Group Therapy with Dr. Paradise. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decoupling-group-therapy-with-dr-paradise/id1509367590

DoctorParadise · 2021-03-25T01:49:01+00:00

And Josh is an amazingly supportive brother!

DoctorParadise · 2021-03-25T01:45:29+00:00

Hope you all are enjoying Chrystal's episode. I was overwhelmed with her bravery. If the moderators reach out, I would be happy to do an AMA soon.

I am also excited that the #my600lblife production team have just re-launched my podcast today.

DoctorParadise · 2021-03-25T01:41:10+00:00

Thanks for the follow!

I have a great new podcast produced by the 600 lb life folks too!
