Y'know ... I had the same thoughts and feelings but a little stronger. My very, very first reaction is just like you said "watch out" and my immediate response to that is a cross between feeling threatened and insulted. I really don't care for the phrase at all. It does not give off any warmth in the emotional sense. In fact, I haven't even gone to the latest one because I'm put off, in part, by the title. I don't know what phrase Dr. Bob could use either but it should come across more as a help or aid in helping me understand myself. That at least smacks of compassion. Right now it's definitely a negative. Ugh!
> I don't know exactly why, but when I see those words "Watch Yourself" in the link on each page, I feel like I am being warned against some unknown bad event. Like "watch out!" So the name is a bit weird for me. I suppose Monitor Yourself just doesn't have the same cache. I don't know what would be better or even if I would prefer it be changed at this point just because of my psyche, but just thought I'd mention it.
