Summary

Let's face it--nearly all of us fall into the black hole of depression, anxiety, shame, and self-doubt at times. Then it's time to ask yourself what you're telling yourself, write down your negative thoughts, identify the distortions in them, and substitute thoughts that are more positive and realistic. Sound too easy? The results can be mind-blowing!

David and Fabrice discuss a therapy session with a woman who had been hiding something about herself for nearly ten years due to feelings of shame. When she receives a phone call from someone in her church, her feelings of anxiety and shame hit the ceiling. Learn how she overcomes her feelings of angst and self-doubt using TEAM-CBT.

David hopes to make the actual video of this dramatic therapy session available soon right here at www.feelinggood.com in his new Feeling Good Store! (still under development at the time of this write-up.)

While listening, you can download pdfs about each of seven steps to help you break out of bad moods and boost your self-esteem.

0:53.3	And before we get into the meat of the subject, David,
0:57.3	first I want to tell our listeners that if they hear a peter-patter background noise,
1:05.1	because it's raining pretty hard today for a change. Now, we're getting some rain in California, which we badly need.
1:14.3	But at the same time, it has an influence on our recording.
1:19.1	It reminds me when I was a kid growing up in Phoenix.
1:22.3	We had sunny days 90% of the time.
1:26.3	Yeah.
