David with Stephanie James, Part 3, Intimate Relationships
Hi everybody!
I recently did two terrific interviews (Podcasts #92 and #111) with Stephanie James on her superb radio show and podcast, The Spark. Today, Fabrice and I are bringing you my third and final interview with Stephanie, as we describe how to convert conflicted relationships into loving, rewarding ones.
Stephanie said it was her favorite interview, although all three were really fun for me. Today you will once again hear how dynamic, warm and positive she is!
My first interview with Stephanie was on the amazing inner power we all have to change our thoughts, feelings, actions, and lives. We talked about how to transform your automatic negative thoughts and create a more joyful present and a more fulfilling future.
My second interview with Stephanie was on the evolution of traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into the new TEAM-CBT. We highlighted the amazing new motivation-busting techniques that can lead to extraordinarily rapid recovery.
Stephanie also recently interviewed our beloved colleague, Dr. Matthew May, a psychiatrist who is a phenomenal TEAM therapist. Click here if you’d like to take a look and listen. Matt has worked with Fabrice and me on our podcasts–you may remember the amazing and inspiring podcasts featuring live therapy with Marilyn.
Stephanie is a outstanding therapist and radio personality from Colorado. It was an honor to be on her show on three occasions. Stephanie is co-authoring a book on how to live a “spark-filled life.” It should be completed soon, so you’ll likely be hearing much more from Stephanie during 2019!

If a loved one says, “You NEVER listen to me.” Please help me find the truth in this statement. I get stuck on the “never”. To me “never” sticks out and I have a hard time opening my heart and genuinely agreeing with the other person.
I greatly value and benefit from the podcast … and get joy from relationships with people (and cats).

Tell me exactly what you said next! Then we can talk! david
Frequently, I nose dive in … I say something defensive.
My struggle is how to genuinely agree with an all-or-nothing statement such as, “You never ….”.
After re-listening to your chat with Stephanie James … allow me to try and answer my own question. I need to side-step the trap of analyzing someone else’s cognitive distortion and seek the truth in what they are saying. This all starts with a pause, so as to not react.
PS: I wrote the above and then this happened: My wife and I were discussing finances this afternoon. During a difficult moment, I ‘used’ the five secrets. At first, I was terribly resistant (I wanted to defend myself), I had to pause, feel and seek what was genuine and true … and then I spoke. Oh, my goodness, walls came down and we shared great intimacy and connection. . . over finances no less!
Thank you for the encouragement to think deeply about this.
Nicely done, Guy. Kudos! And yes, we all DO resist! david
