You don't have to have a physical relationship with someone other than your spouse or significant other to betray him or her.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
The Internet is a seemingly unreal environment where we think we are anonymous. It's a potentially provocative place. As a result, we may not behave the way we would in the real world. Some of us are drawn into what could become a dangerous situation.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Here's the acid test for appropriateness: Pretend that someone near and dear to you is witnessing what you are writing or sending, or knows what you are thinking about sending. If, say, your partner saw this behavior, how would he or she feel? That you are asking yourself this question could mean that you shouldn't be doing it!
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
An Internet 'relationship' doesn't have to be catastrophically harmful to be inappropriate. Hurtful is bad enough.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Women are upset if their partner has an intimate conversation of any kind with someone who isn't them. They consider it a violation, a betrayal. Men should think this way, but they don't.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
People determine the laws. But I do wish they would pass laws that enhance health, not jeopardize it.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
People think you go to doctors for their knowledge. You don't go to doctors for their knowledge. You go to doctors for their judgment, their instinct, what to do, how to make the right call.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Students have tons of health and intimacy and relationship questions, and no one's listening to them.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I tell women to stop learning how to keep a man and make him happy, and to try figuring out what they want from a relationship, to trust their own instincts and not worry about pleasing someone else.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Guys are much happier when someone puts a limit on their behavior and causes them to make a real connection with another person.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
My goal was always to be part of pop culture and relevant to young people, to interact with the people they hold in high esteem.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
In medicine you go from dying to chronically ill. You don't go from dying to better than you ever knew you could be. That just doesn't happen.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
For me, addiction exposes all of the brain mechanism under the influence of a profoundly distorted primary motivation. It's such a window into how we function as human beings. And the patient doesn't know that's happening! Doesn't believe that's happening! That's the fascinating part.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
The problem with my peers is they don't understand television. You have to work within the confines of what executives will allow you to put on TV. Otherwise, we've not done anything, we've not really struggled to change the culture at all.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
As a clinician, I would never want to be coercive in relation to a patient, nor do I harbor the illusion that as a physician I am capable of forcing someone to change their behavior, no matter how detrimental to their health.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I've been busily lifting weights since I was 14, but in college I started running as a way to reduce stress, as I recall.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
When I run on the treadmill, I read. But I have found that the only way to read while on the treadmill is to hold the book, since it moves around too much on the stand, you move around too much. I've gotten very good at holding a book and running, which tends to screw up my neck a little bit.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Nothing demonstrates a celebrity's basic drive for attention more powerfully than a willingness to check one's dignity at the door, week after week, in front of millions of viewers.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
The people and places that cause terror in childhood cause attraction in adulthood. We end up being repetitively attracted to the same kind of person that obliges us by acting out the same behavior over again.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
In love addiction that experience of: 'Oh my God, I'm in love... I feel whole, and I feel like I've known this person forever.' That is a feeling that you have to have all the time. You become addicted to it.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Trauma survivors have a deficiency in their capacity to regulate emotions - they're too prolonged and too intense and too negative. As a corollary to affect regulation, self-esteem, sense of self and inter-personal functioning all goes downhill. And that's a chronic thing that's solved in an-inter personal context.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I've had people that I've given up on, kicked out - situations where I was becoming part of the problem because I was sort of enabling so I said, 'Godspeed, farewell.' And they've come back to me four years later and they're in a CDAAC program or they're getting a PhD.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Back in the day, I was the first non-recovering doctor working in recovery. People would say, 'You can't do that! We need recovering guys in this.' But usually recovering doctors have a lot of baggage and so there's a certain amount of liability with a recovering doctor. But of course it can be ideal.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I trust my recovering peers completely. I'll occasionally look sideways at them because they're addicts but it would break my heart and surprise me to find out that any of these people were lying. Still, addiction is cunning and baffling and you never know.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Trauma super charges addiction and makes it really bad. It doesn't necessarily cause it, though it can trigger it. It's not necessarily the issue but if you have bad addiction, it's there.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
I won't do any print interviews anymore. No matter what I say, it gets distorted.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
What people think when they see me on TV is that they're experiencing me but they're not.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
It's so self-evident that I have to live my own history, to remind people the fact that I got into radio back in the early '80s was because of AIDS and HIV. It was what motivated me - that was the topic that I felt was so important that I had to talk about it, educating young people about it.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
When you get your viral load down to zero, you reduce the risk of transmission of HIV by 90 percent.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
In the late 90s I was hired to participate in a 2 year initiative discussing intimacy and depression which was funded by an educational grant by Glaxo Wellcome.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
You should hear all the people talking to me about Heath Ledger, and yet I'm the only person shooting his mouth off out there about what everyone actually already knows.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
Particularly women need to pay attention to what is unique to their own personal biology and emotional systems, and not deny it.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
If you have a history of being attracted to people who have failed you in relationships, find people that aren't so exciting and aren't quite so attractive. Try that on for size and see if you can tolerate that.
Quote by -Drew Pinsky
If people fit together, they fit for a reason. It's usually the sickest part of one person fitting into the attraction of the sickest part of another.
