In this podcast, David and Fabrice feature David’s recent interview on the topic of “Change your Thoughts, Change Your Life!” The interview was first published on Neil Sattin’s highly regarded Relationship Alive Podcast. Although some of the material may be familiar, there’s much that’s new, and you will enjoy the chemistry between Neil and David as they discuss each of the ten cognitive distortions and raise many challenging questions, such as:
- Is it really true that only our thoughts–and NOT external events–can change the way we feel?
- If someone has the belief, “I’m unlovable,” isn’t that type of thought immutable? How could you possibly change or modify a thought that may be rooted in traumatic experiences and so deeply embedded in a patient’s psyche?
- Should we try to change other people’s cognitive distortions, or just our own?
- How can we challenge each of the ten cognitive distortions?
And much more!
David’s first interview with Neil received more than 25,000 downloads in the first month, and this riveting interview promises to be every bit as popular. If you want to download a transcript of this exciting interview, you can do so at www.neilsattin.com/feelinggood2.

Next week we will begin an exciting series on the powerful role-playing techniques in TEAM-CBT, including
- Externalization of Voices (with Acceptance Paradox and Self-Defense Paradigm)
- Paradoxical Double Standard Technique
- Devil’s Advocate
- Forced Empathy
- Man from Mars
- And more
These episode will feature students and teachers in David’s Tuesday training group at Stanford, so you will get a taste of what an actual Tuesday group is like and see, first hand, how these methods work. They are unique to TEAM-CBT, and most have been created by Dr. Burns. We will also devote one episode to live Shame-Attacking Exercises, featuring the master of Shame Attacking, Dr. Joseph Towery, and we will all be out on the street doing Shame Attacking ourselves.
These episodes will be designed for therapists as well as your patients, and of course also for the general public.
