The Four “Great Deaths” of the Therapist’s Ego, or “Self”
Hi all!
Our Sunday show on April 22 on the four “Great Deaths” that correspond to recovery from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and habits and addictions, respectively, was really well received. You can still watch it on my public FB page.
As it turns out, there are also four “Great Deaths” of the therapist’s “ego,” or “self,” that are required in TEAM-CBT. Do you know what they are? Here’s a hint–they correspond to the four letters of TEAM. In other words, there is a
- T = Testing “Great Death” of the therapist’s ego
- E = Empathy “Great Death” of the therapist’s ego
- A = Agenda Setting “Great Death” of the therapist’s ego
- M = Methods “Great Death” of the therapist’s ego
In you want to find out what these four “Great Deaths” involve, and why, tune in Sunday at 3 PM Pacific Time to listen live (you can ask questions and make comments if you listen live) or any time after that at my Public FB Page.
Hey, I am almost fully recovered from my bronchitis and started my Sunday hikes again. Here are some incredible photos by our beloved and brilliant Maryam! I hope you enjoy them. This first one, of the trail, is rather stupendous! Wow!
The next is a shot of a consultation I was doing with Alex, one of the psychiatric residents at Stanford, on a potential solutions to a challenging clinical problem.
These next two are photos of Zane and Heather, both members of the Tuesday group, as well as teacher, and both are outstanding TEAM-CBT therapists.

I greatly appreciate your support, and hope you will continue to spread the word about TEAM-CBT and http://www.feelinggood.com. i am trying hard to reach as many people as possible with my free programming and blogs designed to help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, and habits and addictions, as well as the therapists who treat them!
I think there are ways you can “share” these blogs, Feeling Good Podcasts, and Sunday FB Broadcasts with friends and colleagues. Please do that! This month, my Feeling Good Podcasts with beloved host, Dr. Fabrice Nye, will likely exceed 50,000 downloads for the first time. So you ARE helping! Thanks so much!
