A Sabbatical For My Sabbatical, Part 3
“The next time we meet, we are going to change your life forever.” That was what I had said to Brian the last time I’d met with him, and here he was again, sitting on my couch. Normally, I don’t think much about just what the heck I say to anyone, but since I’d been on a sabbatical, Brian was the...

A Sabbatical For My Sabbatical, Part 2
Brian sat in my office for about 10 minutes while I thought about what to say to him. You see, I had decided to fix Brian. And, so far, Brian was not an easy person to fix. When Brian came into my office over two months ago, it seemed like he had a fairly simple problem. Everything in his life...

A Sabbatical For My Sabbatical
Folks, I’ve been taking a sabbatical for the first part of this year, which, as you know, is a traditional practice for someone like me who normally does the holy work of bestowing sacred teachings to the masses. Such work can take a lot out of you, as there are a lot of masses, so I decided to...

Dealing With A Problem Parent
This week, a video made its way around the Internet of a Texas judge hitting his 16-year-old with a belt. While the video is difficult to watch for some, I feel like it re-ignites an important and ongoing debate in our culture: whether or not we should publicly flog stupid parents. Now, this…

In Defense of Brad Pitt
Not long ago, The Hollywood Reporter, which is some kind of online smut magazine, published a story with this headline: “Brad Pitt Uses ‘Moneyball’ Promotional Tour to Criticize Jennifer Aniston“. About his former marriage to Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt had said this: “I started to get sick of...

It’s Time to Face the Groundhog of Fear
As I’ve been telling you, you and I are going to change your life. Hopefully, you’re up to speed on this, because we’ll be a lot more effective in changing your life completely if you know what’s going on. Last time, we talked about what you deserve. But once you get the inkling about what you...

You Deserve More Than a Crap Sandwich
Folks, it’s time for a change. I don’t mean for me. I’m happy as a clam who has been invited to a clam honoring ceremony, in which he or she is about to receive an award for Most Delightful Clam. I can’t think of other circumstances in which a clam would be happy, so that will have to do. No, I’m...

Don’t Over-Think How Russell Crowe Relates To Cows
Believe me, no one was more surprised than me when Sally Ann Bopkins came to my office this week. You may remember her from my wildly popular snack-sized book, Just Stop Having Problems, Stupid!, a book which is often handed out at the reception desk of many therapists and psych wards. While I...

Exposing a Whirlwind of Stupidity
I don’t know if you know this, but a crisis can often tell you everything you need to know about a person. Nothing will separate heroes from idiots faster. There are plenty of examples in the world to illustrate this, but one that caught my eye recently came from Sanford, North Carolina. Sanford...

Dr. Matt Is Going To Pull It Out For You
Once in a while, someone will come into my apartment / office who I immediately know is going to be interesting. I mean, someone who just really catches my attention for some undefinable reason. I had a new client this week who I’ll call Jared Leto. Hmm… I guess maybe I shouldn’t give him the…

Protests in Egypt, Libya, and Your Nursing Home

Don’t Not Follow Your Passion! Or Not? No.
Folks, earlier this week, a friend of mine pointed me to this article entitled, cleverly, “Don’t Follow Your Passion.” “It’s really good advice,” my friend told me. Now, I took a gander at this article and it took me a few moments to figure out that it was really bad advice posing as really good...

Dr. Matt’s Contract With The Internet
Folks, it seems like every year we get to a whole new year. In the past, I know that I’ve said that my only resolution for the new year, if I had one, was to get more famous. But I’ve learned and grown, and I wouldn’t want you to think that that was my only ambition. In fact, I was talking to a...

Snake Doctors Are Highly Marketable

People Who Set Your Value Suck

Is it okay to betray a betrayer?
Hello Dr. Matt, My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years, though what we have is a long-distance relationship. Before we finally hooked up, he was broken-hearted because his ex left him. Then, after a while being together, he told me that he loves me and that he no longer loves…

Your Fatness Is Keeping You From Stuff
Folks, I read a recent article that said what you probably already knew, that parents love their fat kids less. Now, the article admitted that parents probably don’t know this, but their actions said it all. When it came to the fat child, they were less likely to help pay for college or…

Familiarity vs. Formality
Once in a while, I’ll encounter someone who is really enthusiastic about me and my work. Actually, usually pretty much everyone is enthusiastic about me, so that’s not the issue. The issue is that, for some, their enthusiasm translates into seeking familiarity with me. Sometimes this happens in...

The Unsexiness of Stress
In the last while, my partner Midgie has been working on getting her PhD.
