About the show
In our eleventh year!

Dr. Kenner is a clinical psychologist who
-- takes calls and answers your questions on any personal issue.
-- discusses current local and national issues from the perspective of psychology and how these same issues occur on a smaller  scale in our personal lives.
-- has one single-segment interview per show.
-- approaches ideas from a very special perspective:

What is special about the ideas Dr. Kenner presents?

  • Briefly, it is that your happiness is not the result of chance, wishes, hopes, dreams, prayers, drugs, relaxing, the stars, or wealth. It does not come from having a great childhood,  being the hit of the party or the most powerful politician or ruler on earth. Happiness is an emotion and emotions have understandable rational causes. Your emotions are the result of the  way you use your mind. Your happiness is under your control!
  • Dr. Kenner shows listeners how callers can think through and solve their problems, rather than merely tell them a course of action to take that they may not understand or agree with.
  • Dr. Kenner truly understands and demonstrates how problems can be rationally explained.
  • Dr. Kenner has extensive experience in the fields of child-parent relationships, marital relationships, family problems, healthy goal setting, self-change, stress management, time  management and more. She has served as expert witness for many dysfunctional family and child abuse related cases. Her employment has included private practice as well as being a staff  therapist at a University Counseling Center and at an HMO. She is paid to speak around the country on many topics.
  • List of topics covered in past shows
  • Comments from guests and listeners

How to participate and ask Dr. Kenner a question
  • You are encouraged to participate in this show by phoning in with any questions you have. This is a call-in talk show. Your calls and questions have top priority and are the motor of the show. To ask Dr. Kenner your questions call toll free 877-Dr-Kenner.
  • More details
What kind of question?
Any issue in psychology or of a personal matter is appropriate:      (more suggestions)
  • Do you have personal questions on situations concerning your family, career, romance, hobbies, or conflicts between any or all of them?
  • Is your young child or adult child developing behavioral problems? Are they too bossy, or too shy? Are your parents still treating you as a child?
  • Are you trying to save (or end) an existing relationship?
  • Do you feel guilty after doing something you think is right?
  • Do you feel you should be happier than you are, even though you have sought and followed the advice of friends, professionals or books?
  • Do you want to know what sources of information are available to help you help yourself? What organizations or books deal with your particular questions?
  • More suggestions
Although you will be receiving helpful advice from Dr. Kenner, remember that this is not therapy and cannot replace a fully contextual one-on-one relationship with a mental health professional.
