I will be offering two summer intensives this year! I hope you can join me at one of them!
I Deleted a Post I Published by Mistake Yesterday!
but
High-Speed Trauma Treatment and
High-Speed Treatment of Performance Anxiety
Are Coming Soon
Live TEAM Therapy!
Yesterday I pushed the “Publish” button by mistake while working on the show notes for an upcoming podcast on performance anxiety with my co-host, Rhonda. I immediately deleted the post, but some of you tried to link to it since it instantly appeared on Facebook. Then some of you got the message that the link was broken.
That’s the BAD NEWS! I apologize for my goof.
Here’s the GOOD NEWS! Many of you have asked for more live personal work on the Feeling Good Podcasts, so here’s what we’ve got coming up for you soon:
High-Speed Treatment of Trauma Parts 1 and 2–Live TEAM Therapy with Sherrie.
These podcasts will be published on on the next two Mondays, April 22 and 29th, 2019. We may even be able to provide you with a two-year follow up in a few weeks so you can see if the effects of the TEAM Therapy session lasted, and how Sherrie is feeling now, looking back on the work she did with David and Mike Christensen.
High-Speed Treatment of Performance Anxiety, Parts 1 and 2–Live TEAM Therapy with Rhonda.
Have you ever struggled with performance anxiety, thinking you were going to goof up and fearing that other would judge or reject you because you weren’t good enough? If so, you won’t want to miss these riveting and incredibly real podcasts that will be published on Monday, May 27 and Monday, June 3, 2019.
I am very indebted to Sherrie and Rhonda for sharing their intensely personal feelings with all of us. I believe that there is a tremendous amount to be learned from observing actual therapy sessions, as opposed to role-play demonstrations, so you can ask yourself, questions like these: “Is this real,” and “How does it work?”
Whether you are a therapist hoping to improve your therapy skills, or a general citizen looking for a little self-help and inspiration, there is a great deal to be gained from observing live therapy sessions, both from a practical and from a spiritual perspective. And it would not be possible without individuals with great courage and generosity to share their inner selves with all of us!

Rhonda, Fabrice and I received a number of thoughtful emails following our recent podcast on mindfulness meditation, which seems to be quite popular these days, but there some push-back from listeners who all did not agree that mindfulness is an effective way of combating negative thoughts and feelings.
Email from Jeremy
Hi David,
I listened to the Feeling Good Podcast on meditation this morning and had some thoughts I wanted to share. For context I’ve been meditating daily for about 3 months.
First – I personally think that if someone is struggling with depression or anxiety, TEAM-CBT is a dramatically faster acting and more powerful tool than mindfulness. I’ve never seen or heard about someone having a dramatic recovering in just a few hours due to mindfulness. I’ve never seen the idea of resistance explored in any kind of mindfulness book or article.
I also don’t really think much of mindfulness as a “method” in the TEAM model, because compared to the other methods for removing negative thoughts it’s extremely weak. I imagine that with hundreds of hours of mindfulness practice you might reach a point where it’s easier to let go of negative thoughts. (There are a lot of reports like that/) However, it’s a very slow way of dealing with negative thoughts compared to externalization of voices etc.
I think for a therapist who knows TEAM to suggest mindfulness as a key practice to their patient is almost negligent, since TEAM is so much more effective.
That said, I’ve sensed a few benefits of mindfulness which is why I’ve been investing my time in it:
– I think you can view meditation as concentration practice, and I’ve found that meditation increases my ability to concentrate
– You can reach a very calm and relaxed state in meditation where you cease to have thoughts, and this state is extremely pleasurable
– I’ve noticed that mindfulness increase my ability to enjoy experiences, including experiences I might enjoy less if I was having even positive or neutral thoughts. As an example, after about 30 minutes of meditation the other day I went for a walk in the woods and stop for about 10 minutes to look at a ridge. My visual experience was completely immersive and I even started to feel like the trees were breathing with me. It was one of the high points of my week. I suspect that even someone who had no negative thoughts might be flooded with positive but irrelevant thoughts (like a yummy meal they might be headed to eat later) would have enjoyed this scene much less.
I’ve also run an experiment using the PAS and CBT to remove the motivation to have distracting thoughts. (ie write down the advantages to having distracting thoughts and disadvantages of focusing on the breath, and then talk back to those) I would classify it as a highly successful experiment, after talking back to all the good reasons to think about something besides my breath my focus got dramatically better. I wonder if this technique could be used to either improve meditation or even supplant the need for it. (because it gets rid of distracting thoughts directly, while meditation is basically practice for having fewer distracting thoughts)
Anyway, just thought I would share some thoughts and ideas with you.
Best,
Jeremy
Email from Paul
Hey, Dr. Burns!
I am with you in terms of the skepticism of mindfulness as a panacea. I also am not sure how particularly effective it is even as a tool in the fight against negative thoughts. I personally cannot seem to get anything out of it, but I am trying to make sense out of how so many people can find it useful.
Perhaps you could put it like this: Mindfulness is not a specific technique for specific problems, but a general method for psychological health. If you have a specific medical condition, you’ll want to get a specific treatment. Sometimes specific conditions can be alleviated by taking care of your health generally (eating healthier, sleeping better, etc.) Still, depending upon the disease, in order to get rid of it, you’ll need a specific treatment. However, even when you’re not dealing with a specific disease, generally good health practices can lower your chances of getting any diseases and lessen the severity when they do arise. In sum, perhaps the goals of mindfulness and CBT are different.
I think that might respect what both you and Fabrice are getting at. I think this goes to answer partly a question I’ve had about TEAM. To what extent is alleviation of anxiety, depression, etc the final goal? Are there religious, spiritual, or psychological problems that are positive goals beyond relief? In Feeling Good, it sounded like you thought that happiness was just the absence of depression. Is that all there is to say about human flourishing? Or do you methodologically stick within the parameters of your client’s value system, asking only “what can I help you with” because you’re a psychologist and not a priest, for example?
Paul
David and Rhonda discuss several important points raised by these listeners, including:
Non-specific vs. / specific interventions. David describes an elderly man named Ezekiel who had escaped from Nazi Germany as a teenager, and still felt like a “totally worthless human being” in spite of incredible success in life. He’d start out shining shoes on the streets of New York City) and end up as a wealthy industrialist, but that did nothing to boost his self-esteem. He’d decades of psychotherapy as well, but it was not effective.
David encouraged him to jog long distances daily to boost the release of “endorphins” in the brain, but that did not work either. Nor would medication or meditation have worked, either.
When you learn why Ezekiel felt like a “worthless human being,” you’ll see exactly why! And you’ll also learn what did work to end decades of suffering and self-doubt.
The time required for meditation, not only during sessions, but in between sessions, is considerable. David would prefer his patients use this time for doing specific psychotherapy homework.
Formulaic treatment. Life has always been stressful, and people are always looking for some simple “solution” to emotional problems, which seem almost universal. The current wellness fad is a great example of that. So, people promote a healthy diet, daily exercise, daily meditation, daily prayer, relaxation training, deep breathing, expressing gratitude, and a host of other things as the secret of happiness and contentment.
These formulas, in my opinion (DB), do not have, and will never have, more than a placebo effect in the treatment of stress. depression, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, and habits and addictions. Sadly, those who are hugely enthusiastic about one of these fads, or formulas, will not want to hear what I just said, as sometimes we just don’t want to have our beliefs challenged. We see this resistance in politics, in religion, and in almost every aspect of our lives.
Mindfulness is already a TEAM technique, even without meditation–but not a terribly effective method, in David’s clinical experience. However, for certain kinds of recurrent negative thoughts, Self-Monitoring and Reattribution can be helpful. These techniques are similar to Mindfulness Meditation, but are only two of more than 100 Methods David uses in treatment, and they are not for everybody. David gives an example of the intensely anxious eye doctor with OCD who was afraid of going blind, who responded to Self-Monitoring and Response Prevention.
There’s nothing wrong with a healthy diet, or meditation, or prayer, or anything that you enjoy, anything that gives you a sense of meaning. But these non-specific approaches should not be confused with specific treatments for depression, anxiety disorders, conflicts in relationships with others, or habits and addictions.
Thanks for listening!

Coming this Summer
There will be two awesome summer intensives for you this year!
Thank you for responding to my first survey of individuals who listen to the Feeling Good Podcasts. I wanted to find out a little more about you, and now I want to share the results with you, too, so you can find out more about your fellow listeners.
Some of the results were quite unexpected, and all were illuminating.
Quick overview of 165 individuals who completed the survey within first couple days.
The female / male split is roughly 60 – 40.
The ratio of general citizens to therapists is also roughly 60 – 40.
Age breakdown:
20 – 39 is about 31%
40 to 49 is about 20%
50 to 59 is about 22%.
Above 60 is about 26%.
So, we have a pretty good age diversification except under 20.
60% of you say that the podcasts have helped in your personal life. 40% of you say the podcasts have helped in your personal life and in work with patients. Only 2% of you are only looking for therapy techniques to help your patients / clients.
This means almost everyone who listens is look for personal help, whether or not you are a therapist. This maps onto my experience teaching community therapists and graduate students at Stanford. Almost all are looking for personal help in addition to wanting to improve their therapy skills.
I am a firm believer that doing your personal work makes you a far more effective therapist, because you can say, “I’ve been there myself. I know how that feels to feel lost and desperate in the woods when it’s cold and snowing. And I can show you the way out of the woods!”
An incredible 92% of you appear to be recommending the podcast to friends, students, patients and colleagues. Thanks so much! That really helps us spread the word. When Fabrice and I started out, we had a tiny audience. This month (April, 2019) we will experience our millionth download!
On the free form written response, there were way too many to report. I have just reported a few representative comments here:
What you like THE LEAST? (118 responded; 47 skipped)
I prefer videos.
It should be released on daily basis lol! They are perfect I love it
Honestly, can’t think of an answer for that today.
Difficult question . . . it has helped me a lot. I wished it would have been possible to join online self-help groups to practice TEAM CBT with other followers.
David’s Response: Lots of paid online training groups for therapists exist. Check at www.feelinggoodinstitute.com! People have raved about the quality of the teachers, like Jill Levitt, PhD, Mike Christensen, and others.
There is no written transcript of the podcast.
Some have also said the wanted more detailed show notes.
David’s Response: I’m glad you’ve like the show notes. They have become quite detailed, compared with when we started out. I was worried they now might be TOO long, so happy to see this. In case you don’t get the show notes, you can sign up for my blogs in the right panel of any page on my website, and then you’ll always get the show notes with the podcast.
Maybe the lack of evidence. When you say that depression can be successfully treated in a single session, it’s maybe hard for people to believe that, especially if the depressed person is severely and chronically depressed.
David’s Response: Great point. I get really rapid results most of the time, but that doesn’t mean that other practitioners will. I’ve been working at for a long time, with feedback from every patient since the late 1970s. My skills have evolved tremendously from when I started out. Sometimes the feedback has been painful, but it’s always been a source of growth and learning.
I have published quite a few live sessions now with people with chronic problems, and the percent reduction in in the last 50 or so patients I’ve treated (in one session) has been greater than 90% for depression, anxiety, and anger. But I do need a two hour session, approximately, to get that result.
Unlike formulaic treatments, like learning to apply exposure to anxiety, which anyone can quickly learn to do, TEAM is very challenging, and involves refining your therapy skills, not just learning some new package or formula to treat this or that diagnosis. It’s very hard to learn.
I think it would be interesting to bring more real people – either patients or therapist to tell about difficult cases. I think the details will help me go deeper into team. Also, to see more of the co- therapy with different experts in TEAM helps.
Fabrice left ☹ David sometimes sound narcissistic, grandiose ..no need to push TEAM as the best all the time. Less monolog, more dialog
David’s Response: You are listing just one of Fabrice’s many wonderful qualities, and just a few of my own negative qualities! I miss him greatly, his terrific mind and critical thinking, and his wonderful heart!
Need more of them! Hard to say as they are all so informative.
I listened to every single FG podcast and learned something helpful each time. However, some of the stories and examples were a bit repetitive.
David’s Response: I know, I know! Hard to keep track!
I love everything about them!
Nothing really. I love them all!! So grateful for your generosity!
Ask David responses that are too short / superficial
Everything is great! It’s my favorite podcast! I’ve listened to every single episode!
When there are guests on the show & David doesn’t let them speak much. It seems like he has a very certain way he wants issues to be talked about & doesn’t always go with the flow. I don’t want that to come across as a jab at David. I’m a huge fan, & I think I can spot it because I am a very rigid person myself. I like to be in control.
David’s summary of what you liked THE LEAST: Your comments were all informative, on-target, warmly expressed, valid, and helpful. Wow! Fabrice, Rhonda and I can’t thank you all enough! 😊😊
What you like THE Best? (135 responded; 30 skipped)
I will include just a few representative comments:
I really like when you provide specific examples on how to challenge some distorted thoughts and how to utilize the techniques.
Using a variety of co-hosts. More Kyle.
When the technical terms are explained. Also when the questionnaires are explained. And the personal success stories.
I really like all the helpful information that I can use as a therapist. Although I’ve been a therapist for decades, I’ve only recently started using CBT. I also appreciate Dr. Burns’ openness and willingness to use his life experiences to benefit his clients and us.
Live sessions applying TEAM CBT
It is a way to listen to topics that are not in the books (like the description of the TEAM model) and to have clarifications and answers.
The compassion and great effort in everything You do.
Your humility. To me – humility is the hardest and best.
I enjoy listening to the experts; I really enjoy the live therapy sessions as they give me ideas for how to work with my patients.
The role play, the interaction between David Burns and his co-host. I really liked Fabrice and his role as co-host. I like when David fields listener questions. I like when David gives examples of how he phrases things with clients.
David Burns – He usually has good tips and techniques that help me as a non-therapist. I first read Dr. Burns’ book, Feeling Good, in the early 1980’s; and, it helped me tremendously deal with my depression. I liked the tools in the book; and the tools now on the podcast!
Burns knowledge and skill is amazing.
I like that they are short and sweet.
Your approach is very logical and genuine. I love the addition of Rhonda! She is always very clear and concise. Additionally, she will bring a female perspective to topics covered.
I know on occasion you have been told to tone down your language, but I love it when you sometimes “forget”. It makes you seem more like a real person I don’t think too many children are listening anyway.
awesome help, info
free
positive force in daily stressful lives around the world
commercial free
personally helped me understand myself and others in a way i wouldn’t have done by myself
This service is available free. Dr. Burns you are amazing
Every single podcast is packed with helpful ideas and techniques. I especially love the live sessions; they made the theory and framework come alive. Keep up the great work!
David’s summary of what you liked THE BEST: Wow! Fabrice, Rhonda and I are touched by your kind and heart-warming comments. It is kind of hard to believe, and makes me feel like we’re all really in sync!

Coming this Summer
There will be two awesome summer intensives for you this year!
I am again testing how photos appear on FB. This time, I am not using the “Featured Image” tool in Word Press. Instead, I am embedding all the photos IN the blog itself.
We’ll see how this looks.
Hey, I have some exciting feedback to share with you soon from my recent survey of podcast fans. Also, its looks like we’ll have our millionth podcast download this month, thanks to your support! In addition, the monthly total of downloads is increasing each month, thanks to all of you telling your friends about us. It’s working, and we deeply appreciate it.
Warmly,
David
Here are some more miscellaneous photos including Rhonda, my new cohost, Jill, who I teach with at Stanford (and in workshops), Zane, an esteemed friend and Tuesday group member, and Helen’s cats. Helen also teaches with us at Stanford, and has been featured on several podcasts on the Five Secrets of Effective Communication.
I am testing how photos appear on FB. My featured photos have not appeared correctly, but get cropped in peculiar ways by FB. This is a test to see how a couple different photos will appear on FB. Just trying to improve the quality for you.
Thanks for supporting my website, www.feelinggood.com, and my Feeling Good Podcasts!
Warmly,
David
Here’s a photo of a student, a hiking photo, and a recent david photo. They have not been resized for FB, so they may appear peculiar. This is a test for that reason. I am also repeating the photo featured at the top.
If you are a podcast fan, please tell me a little about yourself on the survey below, so I can create podcasts that will be the most interesting you. My goal is to increase the quality of the Feeling Good Podcasts. With your help, the Feeling Good Podcast has grown from just a few hundred downloads per month to more than 75,000, and I want this healthy growth to continue!
I want to know if you are a therapist, a general citizen, and what kinds of podcast topics would interest you the most. I also want to know what you like the BEST and the LEAST about the Feeling Good Podcasts.
Finally, would love to know how you found out about the Feeling Good Podcasts.
Thank you so much for listening and supporting my efforts, as well as the efforts of my first podcast host, Dr. Fabrice Nye, and my new host, Dr. Rhonda Barovsky.
David
PS I am NOT trying to steal your personal information. I am elderly and rather techno-impaired, and would not even know what to do with it! However, I DO want to serve you better, and love creating podcasts for you!
Sorry folks, just a test, and sorry to bother you. Trying to debug FB and Word Press. david
