Summary

How would you overcome the fear of aging?

Can you use TEAM for sports psychology?

Describe your typical day, David--
do you ever get down or anxious?

Hi Listeners:

Thanks for your many and awesome questions. I love to answer them! And there will be more to come in future podcasts. Your questions are GREAT! 

  1. Vipul: Tell us about your new book, Feeling Great. How will it be different from Feeling Good? And can people with schizoaffective disorder be helped? (story with Stirling Moorey)
  2. Guy: What’s a nervous breakdown?
  3. Rob: How would you treat a field goal kicker who’s afraid of missing the winning field goal? Would you use positive visualizations?
  4. Michael: How would you treat someone with the fear of aging? I turn 60 in a few months, and have been experiencing anxiety around not be able to do some of the things I love as I age.
  5. Hidem: How fast is fast? I notice your frequent use of the term "High Speed Recovery" (and even Warp Speed) when describing the benefits of TEAM CBT. How rapidly does the average patient recover?
  6. Brittany: I had an idea that I think would benefit a lot of us. I’d like you to do a podcast on a week or a day in your life. The ups & downs of your moods, triggers, etc., & most importantly how you deal with them. Do you write out your own Negative Thoughts a Daily Mood Log?

Thank you for all of your great questions, comments, and testimonials! Rhonda and I really appreciate that!  

David and Rhonda

PS Here's a great question we did not get to today. We'll do it in a future Ask David, as it's really important. 

  1. Rubens: What can you do when you can’t identify your negative thoughts? I get anxious, but don’t seem to have any negative thoughts. Is it really true that our feelings always result from negative thoughts?

kind of applications of what was in feeling good to different things like dating or whatever.

But feeling great will have all the new team stuff, particularly positive reframing and all the techniques to reduce resistance.

1:59.2

It'll have all of the great cognitive tools that were in Feeling

2:02.8

Good and probably more powerfully presented because they've had 40 years of refinement

and research and development, but it's going to have all the new technology as well.
