In today's episode, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Dr. David Burns, a true legend in the field of mental health. Dr. Burns is not only a pioneer of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but he's also the best-selling author of Feeling Good and Feeling Great, which have collectively sold millions of copies worldwide. Spending so much time with him was a real treat, as he shared his incredible insights into mental health, his innovative T.E.A.M. Therapy method, and his groundbreaking Feeling Great App.

We talked about how his methods are helping people achieve rapid and lasting recovery from depression, anxiety, and other difficult emotions, sometimes in just one session. Dr. Burns also gave us a behind-the-scenes look at how his AI-driven app is transforming mental health treatment, making it accessible and effective for people everywhere.

This conversation was truly fascinating, and I'm sure you'll find a ton of value in it. Whether you're familiar with Dr. Burns' work or hearing about him for the first time, you'll come away with practical advice and a deeper understanding of how to break free from the emotional patterns holding you back.

In this episode, we cover:

• Dr. Burns' early work with CBT and how it evolved into T.E.A.M. Therapy.
• The creation and impact of the Feeling Great App, and how it leverages AI to deliver therapy.
• Why measuring progress in therapy is essential and how data-driven methods are changing the field.
• The common cause behind many negative emotions, and how to tackle it.
• Dr. Burns' unique approach to therapy—including why he hasn't charged for sessions in over 30 years.
