Interview by Dr. Melody Foxx

Dr. Melody Foxx interviewed two guests on L.A. Talk Radio. Allen Cardoza, an international detective, the host of the show was not able to be present because he was helping a client with rescuing a young man in a crisis. The first guest on the regular Answers for the Family radio program was psychologist Dr Les Parrott. He had been invited to talk about his latest publication, "You're Stronger Than You Think." He was followed by Shayne Gallagher, one of the nation's leading wilderness therapy experts from Wingate Wilderness Therapy, Utah. This guest was invited to describe the transformational quality of Wilderness Therapy for at-risk youth.

Dr. Les Parrott

A New York Times number one bestselling author, Les is cofounder, with his wife, Leslie, of the Center for Relationship Development on the campus of Seattle Pacific University. He is an author and speaker who has been interviewed on The Oprah Show, Good Morning America, and CNN. He lives in Seattle with his wife and two sons.

Les said that he wrote his book to assist people to stop deferring their hopes into the indefinite future. They were definitely stronger than they believed and did not have to strategically wait for the best time to actually begin to live a fuller life. He recommended a threefold path to find out more about the power within: finding the power of the mind, discovering the power of the heart, and tapping the power of the soul. During the interview, he described the best ways to unleash these powers.

Shayne Gallagher

Shayne is the executive director of the WinGate & WayPoints Therapy Programs, and for the past 22 years, he has been working with students and families in providing a wilderness experience that heals young adults and families.

He discussed the characteristics of how Wilderness Therapy is created to aid teenagers who are struggling to discover their own path in life. The whole process creates a positive and supporting atmosphere for individual transformation. This sort of therapy is highly successful because the power of nature reduces all resistance to change. Additionally, without day-to-day diversions the wilderness has a greater impact as well as offers a greater opportunity for lengthy self-reflection.
