David discusses the basic idea that it’s not what we’re doing, but our thoughts, that trigger ALL of our feelings.

Take the question, "Is the universe real?" You could ask, “Well, what would it be like if the universe weren't real? What would that look like? How would things be different?” If you can't answer that question, ...

    As the kids would say, ooof! Of course free will exists! The fact that few will get there doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Though I have read the book Feeling Good inside and out, I am new to this podcast. I can agree with utilizing the denial of free will as an emotional coping technique, which is clearly something you all are doing. But, I think we need to simultaneously accept the limits of that intervention. In fact, I would go so far as to say the denial of free will can be another self-defeating belief, because it impedes Maslow's self-actualization aka Kegan's Level 5. So if this podcast is only about coping with emotional pathology, I accept there is no free will. But if we are to be interested in human flourishing, of course free will exists, even if the pathway is largely "free won't"

    Great topic! I have read the book Feeling Good inside and out and, though I am quite familiar with things like ACT and DBT, I don't remember ever hearing the phrase "paradoxical agenda setting." Until today's video I wasn't a fan of advocating for self-esteem, because I hadn't heard it said that we should get rid of self-esteem as soon as we achieve it. Acquire it so you can lose it is a paradox I can get behind! In the language of Kegan's constructive developmental model, it sounds like going from Level 4 to Level 5. Cheers! ❤ P.S. Kudos to Dr. May for discussing what might be called the collecting rejections exercise (see 53:45)

    Guys, for future group conversations like this, can I suggest people who are not talking mute their microphones? There's so much noise in the sound now with five open mics, it's borderline unlistenable at points. And it sounds like Matt May's mic on his headphone is not working at all. It sounds like he's inside a bathtub and a mic like that shouldn't sound like that. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't want to be negative, because I love the podcast so much! I just don't want people to be put off by the sound issues which could easily be fixed or avoided.

  • @snakedogman
    @snakedogman 4 дня назад

    This was a great episode! Just a technical note: now every time Matt or Rhonda speaks, there's an audible delayed echo of them talking. Probably feedback from Dr. Burn's microphone because he's the only one not wearing headphones (so the sound of Rhonda and Matt talking is coming out of his speakers and being picked up again by his microphone, and then onto the recording again, but delayed). It's not too important, but a bit distracting.

    Good to remember the basis, since we tend to forget. I agree with the oneness since I understand and appreciate it. However, almost everytime you talk about the 5 secrets of effective communication, half of the story is missing: the dark tetrad, "a set of interrelated negative personality features: narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism". Difficult to have a loving relationship with people having those characteristics. Few times on your podcast you talked about narcissism, but often you talk about relationships as if it didn't exist, whereas the dark tetrad constitutes about 7% of the population, which is not negligible.

    • @daviddbmd
      @daviddbmd 7 дней назад

      You're right that there is a dark side to human nature and I do talk about it quite a bit. There are 2 aspects, at least. One is how to communicate with these individuals, especially when you are under attack. In addition, Carl Jung said that accepting our dark side is an important key to mental health and I agree with that very strongly. I don't know if this addresses your concerns, so let me know if this isn't on target and we can try again!

      @@daviddbmd Thanks for your answers. Ok, maybe more explicitly, I have the impression that when a person A complains about a person B (actions etc), your automatic response is that A needs to reflect on their own actions, to take responsibility, which is positive in a way, but the problem I see is that if A complains about B who factually mistreated them, and the answer you provide to A is to not blame B, ultimately it sounds like blaming A, the factual victim in this situation.

    A human being that was never useful, would have to have lived, but not had enough time to become useful. Aborted babies were useless human beings. But, for anyone who wants to question the amount of violence committed men compared to women, the recollection of those aborted babies is useful. Is any adult similar to an aborted baby in any way? Dr. Burns advocated for medical assistance in dying in another podcast. Such a person no longer has any use apparently. A person about to complete suicide, who could not be stopped, no longer has any use in the physical world. Does their memory have use to someone though? A person stopped from completing suicide though has a use for the heroic (or manipulative) person who saved him (or her).

    It is believed (and as explained in the Bhagavad Gita ) that the real nature of our self is Soul (Atma). We are souls and not this body. We have two self or ego- false ego that is being nurtured by the upbringing process and has to do with all identifications and experiences in this material world (also understood as illusion) and true self is our soul which never dies, but transfers from one body to another (pointed to the concept of reincarnation).

    I feel sad for David in regards to his relationship with his father. He obviously had a bad experience with Christianity because of him. TEAM CBT has been great for me, but so has Christianity. The latter can be twisted by others unfortunately, but when I personally realized GOD IS LOVE, everything David had said before about worthiness, self-worth, etc finally made sense. I don't have to worry myself with impressing the world or impressing myself. God loves me as I am, forgives me when I err and will always be there. There is nothing in this world to be worried about in actuality. Absolutely Nothing.

    Hi, I watched a video earlier David, on your new book Feeling Great on PESIinc. You were talking about negative distortions causing anxiety and depression and positive distortions causing things like addiction, violence, relationship and marital conflict and narcissism. My daughter is showing signs of narcissism. She's now 32 and it became apparent once she married and had children. She left her husband soon after the marrying and having children and started to have the philosophy of only positive thinking. I don't think she allowed any negative into her life from that point onwards. This, I believe, has lead to her grandiose feelings of importance and manipulation tactics. If my theory is right, it would be possible for her to correct her positive distortions, just the same as someone could change their negative distortions, wouldn't it? She is actually seeing a psychologist now so I'm hoping the I might eventually see some change in her but the key thing is, I think, that she will have to want to change. I guess that depends on what her goals are, doesn't it? Because if her narcissism is working for her, getting her to the places she wants to be, she's unlikely to want to change her distortions, even if she recognises them. By the way, I'm 59 yrs old, female and just found out I've got Asperger's Syndrome. My special interest is psychology! 😂

      I think you're right about positive distortions. They create feelings of joy and superiority, so people are not usually motivated to challenge them. I'm sorry your daughter is experiencing this, and hope that things will change for the better. Appreciate you! warmly, david

    I cannot be more enthusiastic about you covering spirituality in light of TCBT. IMO psychological therapy should be informed by the most up-to-date, that is rational and scientifically informed world-view. Recommended read with regards to this: Rationalist Spirituality: An Exploration of the Meaning of Life and Existence Informed by Logic and Science by Bernardo Kastrup Thanks for these discussions!

    I am so excited to see this favorite title on free will . It is a concept that requires some exposure to quantum physics , thomas young's double slit experiments etc.which i gained over time. After reading all those , finally i started with what david had earlier advocated. what is your problem? what do you want? let us talk about that rather than discussing whether free will is there or not. We have to accept the principles of " free will within predetermination" It is not this OR that but this AND that . The implications get so complicated that I have to think that : I will have to exercise my will to the maximum extent while knowing that all things will happen the way it has to happen. the only problem is I will never ever be able to know the future without utilising my efforts. Some time the implications of this will come to the conclusion that Nature or god or Universe is unfair. I really have to interview god to know . The spiritual and scientific lessons I have learnt over time simple is insufficient to get the answers i want to know. But we human beings simply do not have the senses to know timelessness, infinity , and the mystery of creation as long as we live.

    Hello ! this comment is directed to Dr David burns. I saw the title of the video about Self. I remember his thrilling highly enlightening discussion on the principle of " language out of gear" ( words like real , unreal, free will , self worth etc.) .This was way back in around 2001 or so. those discussions happened in the internet in his Ask david q and a section. Internet was just getting to reach out all over the world. He had talked about his Ludwigg wittgenstein, Memoirs of ludwigg book written by malcolm . Those series of discussions immunised me very much from being affected by philosophical and psychological sickness of meaningless words that appear to have meaning. I think those discussions are still there in the net. I had saved those discussions and used to read them often. Over time there were so many other tons of materials and interesting stuff to read that I have a hard time seaching where those discussions were saved. I felt that David could publish them in a chapter in one his books. The concepts were absolutely fascinating. I wonder if Dr David remembers those conversations .

    Dr. David D. Burns, I am a reader of 'Feeling Good' and 'Feeling Great' in Korea. You may have heard expressions of gratitude many times, and it might not be as impactful to you. However, I want you to know that you have changed my life, and I am profoundly grateful beyond words. I wish you happiness and good health.

      @@daviddbmd Of course, and I am grateful and honored that you read my comment. I can hardly believe how distorted the world I have been living in has been. Perhaps I am currently in a state of positive distortion. (The way I see the world has changed significantly, and it hasn’t been long since these changes occurred.) However, I believe that by using the "Relapse Prevention Training" mentioned in Feeling Great (especially Stage 2, which reminds us that techniques that initially worked are always effective), I can live a life that is less distorted in the future. Thank you!

    Thank you for this video on this topic, it was very clear to me! It's a shame that this chapter of your Feeling Great book was removed, because to me this philosophical point is one important tool (among the many techniques that you propose) to get read of negative thinking, and to heal. What you said about the DSM is refreshing, and I agree with it. So, you said schizophrenia and bipolar1 are mental disorders, and you explained why, but what would be the third: psychopathy? It woul be nice if you do another video where you dig on this. Your voice on it is really important. What the APA is doing is really concerning. Other psychatrists disagree with this business of labelling people. And you're right, it's detrimental to human beings. There is another psychological concept that you didn't talk about, but who looks similar to the "self", which is the "personality". What is your take on it, the same or different? Lastly, now in the spiritual domain, is the notion of the soul the same for you than the "self"? Or, in your opinion, could it be a possibility of an essential part of us which links us all to the Spirit, to spirituality? Looking forward to watching the other philosophical videos!
