thank you so much because I was wondering when they were coming back. Ok now I would be officially done with this show on the 8.

Butterfly, you repeatedly state that you are through with the SO show. You say that you only will watch the couples programs but nothing else. What has caused you to have this change of heart? I adore SO. I even wish I didn't like it so much because the pain of knowing that the show may not be coming back for another season is terrible. I will miss it so much. I will do everything I can to convince the producers to give the show another chance.

You must have been invested in the show at some point. Maybe I have missed your previous points. What happened?

I have been watching it since day one and I'm just tired of it. I don't want to invest my time anymore. I have learn a lot from Iyanla but it's time to move on. Watching the show now it like reading the same self-help book over and over again. I do like coming on here reading the message board, people are really nice on here.

so stop watching it already! sheesh!

I'm so sorry that things have come to this point for you. For me the change of women insures that I can continue to learn from the coaches and from the women in the house. I see the same things out in the world but don't notice the causes or can I find ways to chance some of my disfunctional behaviors. The cast of SO brings these maladaptive behaviors to the fore and then analyses them for me.
I understand what you say about self-help books. however, I DO read those books over and over. They are only triggers for me at the particular place where I am. What I get out of self-help books or SO completely depends on my psychology at that point. At 65 I come across stuff all the time that I wrote at a younger age and think someone else wrote it. It is so different from me now. I am saving every episode of SO I can get my hands on to look at when I'm 70 to see what NEW insights Iyanla has for me then!!
