Summary

"I'm a failure. . . I'm not good enough. . . My life will be empty and meaningless without . . . "

Sound familiar? Sometimes, the messages we get from society, and the impossible standards that we accept, can lead to enormous, intense suffering.

Several months ago I received a compelling email from a young woman named Daisy who asked about the message we get from society that lead to suffering. Fabrice and I were so inspired that we devoted an entire Feeling Good Podcast to it (Podcast 038: Negative Messages from Society) The theme of the podcast, as well as the three subsequent podcasts, was how to pinpoint and modify the Self-Defeating Beliefs (SDBs) that lead to depression, anxiety, and relationship problems.

Today, Fabrice and I are thrilled and honored to present an entire TEAM-CBT therapy session with Daisy, along with her husband Zane.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Feeling Good podcast.
0:12.4	I am your host, Fabrice Nye.
0:14.7	And joining me here in the Murrieta Studios is Dr. David Burns.
0:19.0	Hi, David.
0:20.0	Hi, Fabrice.
0:23.8	Dr. David Burns has been a pioneer in the development of cognitive therapy, and he is the creator of the new team therapy. He is the author of
0:30.2	Feeling Good, which has sold over 5 million copies in the United States, and has been translated into

0:58.9	would like to introduce to you, Daisy. Hi, Daisy. Hi, Fabrice. Daisy is an avid listener of the podcast.
1:06.3	And way back in for podcast episode number, I think 38, she sent a note to David and a question that we
1:17.5	talked about on the air. And Daisy ended up coming for a live session. So we're going to have a
1:25.7	live session recorded. And her husband is here also. Hi, Zayne.
1:31.9	Hello, Fabrice.
1:33.0	Who's going to be observing and maybe adding a little bit of richness to our work. So I'm very much looking forward to this.
1:42.5	And Daisy is coming to us with an already filled out
1:48.2	daily mood log and a brief mood survey. And I know that David is going to go over that with her.
2:10.6	One way to start is I thought it might be nice to reread the letter that you sent several months ago because it does link into what we're going to be working on today.
