Summary

In this podcast, David and Fabrice answer five challenging questions submitted by listeners:

Galina asks whether we always have to face our fears? Isn't it okay to be anxious sometimes?
Courtney asks how to find the supplemental written materials, tests, and diagrams if you have purchased the eBook or audio-book copy of Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy.
Carlos asks about the best treatment for smoking cessation. During the discussion, Fabrice asks if Paradoxical Agenda Setting is important for therapists using hypnotherapy.
Avi asks whether humans have a dark side, with dark negative motives that sometimes compete with positive, loving motives. And if so, how do therapists help patients deal with their own negative motives?
Ben asks what to do if you're very anxious but simply can't pinpoint your negative thoughts.
