Does Kate Gosselin Need a Therapist?

INFphoto 1254271 189x300 Does Kate Gosselin Need a Therapist?Dancing With the Stars‘ Louis Van Amstel has come out and said what we’ve all been thinking: Kate Gosselin could use a therapist.

Come on, tell me the thought hasn’t crossed your mind that Kate Gosselin could use a little time on the couch. I mean, she has eight kids, she lost one child, she suffered a public divorce, a humiliating series of tabloid covers calling her all sorts of things, continued allegations that she is a bad mother, a possible custody dispute (although that one looks to be going away) and then the very public discovery that she is really a pretty lousy dancer. Not to mention she has a little bit of that uptight, type-A thing going on–and a pretty low self-esteem, if we are believe all the two or three dozen times she has mentioned the line about America believing in Kate Gosselin more than Kate believes in herself.

My point is this: If I were her, I’d be living sleeping in my shrink’s foyer.

Of course Van Amstel seems less concerned about her general welfare than about her dance technique, telling Us Weekly that were he to teach Kate, he’d “break her down and then teach — what’s going on, what’s holding you down. She needs a psychologist, that’s what it is.”

A word of advice for Kate Gosselin: Forget the dancing. Take a step back from the TV show planning and the book tours and the talk show appearances. Focus on yourself. Your kids will thank you.
