How Do You Write Your Negative Thoughts Down?

We address a number of excellent questions submitted by listeners:

1. Are the scales on your Brief Mood Survey reliable and valid?
2. How can I identify my Negative Thoughts when I'm upset but I can’t figure out what I'm thinking and telling myself?
3. I have social anxiety and don’t want to get out of bed. I'd rather just lie in bed and watch Game of Thrones. Help me! What should I do?
4. I saw an article in the paper that claimed that bacteria in the gut cause anxiety. Is this true? If not, what does cause depression and anxiety?
5. Could your tools, like the Cost-Benefit Analysis, help with problems that aren’t necessarily emotional problems? Like what career to pursue, or what college to go to?
6. What should you do if you feel great at the end of a therapy session, and then become severely upset again during the week?
7. How does Dr. Burns deal with resistance from colleagues when he is trying to teach these new TEAM-CBT techniques? Does he run into much resistance? How does he feel about the resistance?
