I heard Dr. Harley on his radio program yesterday (thru internet) and he was aware of the thread about exposing the A to the BS. So he actually answered it specifically "from the horse's mouth". He said that he always advised exposure to the BS even if the A was over. He actually said that if the BS didn't appreciate it he would just say "I'm sorry. I thought you would have wanted to know". or something like that.

Just thought that people here would be interested to know that he answered the question because he was aware that it was posed on the forum and that many speculated what he would answer.

I'm surprised that no one reported this. I'm so far away...

Most of us knew what his opinion would be on the subject. It is too bad that those less familiar with what Dr. Willard Harley has said or written about exposure were so offended by the opinions agreeing with him...starting an unnecessary brou- ha-ha that has probably been a bit discouraging to those newer members struggling with active A's while trying to learn the concepts which are new to them.

Thanks CC. I meant to listen to the new radio program but forgot.

The radio program with Dr. Harley used to be only mondays and thursdays for 1 hour. I let everyone here know last week that it is now 3 hours with Dr. Harley and Joyce every day.

It is now Marriagebuilders Radio.

I've listened several days over the internet and they don't seem to get many calls..

Since there don't seem to be many calls or e mails to answer they also talk about articles in the news or books. Yesterday one of the topics that came up was about grieving. And Dr. Harley specifically talked about grieving a dead child. Joyce doesn't like his method but he said it worked. The method is basically to forget the child, take all his/her pictures away etc.! Very interesting. Unfortunately DD talked to me and I wasn't quite able to listen to his whole treatment method.

I think it's really worth hearing if you can.

cc46,

Thanks for the update. I am sure Dr Harley and his staff (including Mrs. Harley), know how much we appreciate their website. We may not always agree and as can be seen in their show, disagreeing doesn't mean the end of the world but disrespect certainly sets us in that bad direction.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Harley's and their staff. This includes the endless amount of dedication to the mods and supportive posters. You all know how you are. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Without this forum and your support, many of us w/b alone in our struggle in dealing with this type of problem. We may have survived but here we survive stronger and heal much quicker.

In my case, my M has been in recovery. Either way, I am a better person and IMHO, my H owes his recovery in part to what I have learned from MB and you all.

So arigato and mahalo. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Aloha,
L.

First,
sorry I missed this the first time around. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
It has just been brought to my attention.

SO:

cc forty six,

You have my appreciation & gratitude for Sharing this information here. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Truly,
It gets frustrating to continue to speak on the same subject on thread after thread .......so I for one am just Thankful to at least have the sponsor of the website having his Advice brought to light.

Now will this convince those dead set against it???
Of course not,
as the strategy around here these days seems to be --- "pick and choose" ala -cart for each totally UNIQUE situation, <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
what each person Wants to do (or not do as the case may be).

However,
what we won't have to read anymore,
is yet ANOTHER Misguided Interpretation of what MBers principles are on the subject. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Thank goodness!

So in the future:
they can still at least Attempt to defend a position,
but will no longer have the "its not against MBers" defense anymore to try and deflect with.

So again thank you for pointing this important update/fact out.
IT truly is refreshing!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Man...I NEVER get to listen to that program. I didn't realize it was CST.....can anyone tell me what that translates to for EST???? I assumed it was 3-6pm my time...but there's a chance I can catch it since it's in a different time zone.

Thanks <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
