Dr. Burns’ Upcoming 2024 Workshops
David’s awesome and legendary summer intensive will return to the South San Francisco Conference Center this summer after 5 long years. April 8 – 11, 2024!
Act fast if you want a seat, as in-person seating will be strictly limited.
Wow, that was an amazing story by Matt!
It seems Matt added a third element to the Fight or Flight response. Now it’s Fight, Flight, or Five.
Cool! Might also so, “of Five to Stay Alive!” Thanks! d
Agree! These 5 techniques help a lot!
I feel random saying this but I’ve even used it on twitter when debating polar opposite MAGA people. I somehow got caught into a debate with them on a local issue but they totally deescalated and softened up when I said they had grain of salt, admitting that I might have been ranty on one issue. It’s like magic really! I even screen shot our debate as a reminder/proof.
The only problem that came out of that is that they wanted to learn more and I felt that it was getting weird and kinda to close. Prob need to figure out why I feel like that but that’s for another day.
Next step is using this on my boss who sends out scary emails. Excited to try!
Thanks Dr. Burns & Matt & Rhonda !
Hi Jean, thanks for the kind comments, and kudos on your courage. Keep me informed how it goes with your boss. Best, david
