- Learning about techniques to help patients from experts in the field! Realistic and humorous portrayals and disclosure
- Always pick up a new concept
- Brilliant teaching and great techniques
- The idea that long- lasting change can happen quickly
- The use of Paradox
- There is done sort of therapy by proxy that seems to happen during live therapy work. Even when situations are different, amazingly meaningful.
- I enjoy the Q&A podcasts where you cover 4 to 5 great questions. Having Rhonda and Matt (and, of course, Dr. Burns!) give their viewpoints on topics that can be helpful to everyone is very useful.
- Learning how to retool my brain.
- I love the feeling of comfort I get from hearing your stories, both personal and from guests. I was particularly touched by Rhonda’s openness when she first joined the podcast and worked through her feelings of inadequacy. I think about those episodes a lot because I relate to them.
- Feel less alone
- The live therapy sessions. Hearing Dr. Burns, Jill, Rhonda and others do externalization of voices, positive reframing, and other techniques is SO incredibly powerful.
- Hundreds more! (link)
- The long intros sometimes before the topic gets started
- Boasting, rambling on and on.
- Sometimes the attitude towards other practices and theories is condescending and fails to appreciate the contributions different approaches make to understand and alleviate suffering.
- endorsement emails
- Something I've noticed in live coaching is that there seems to be a strong focus on externalization of voices as a method. In Feeling Great, I love your 50 methods - but I wonder why it feels like 80% of the time you focus on externalization of voices vs other methods.
- Honestly, that's super nit-picky. But I felt like I had to include something in the "liked least" section. Otherwise, I think the Feeling Good podcast is A+++
- Not a fan of the hokey -- the weird Hello Rhondas, etc. Ditto for the four letter words. IMO these detract from the content, dumb down/lessen the credibility of the presenters and content. Distracting and make me cringe. I won't quit listening... just unprofessional and low class.
- Hard to complain about something this good
- Hundreds more (link)
- Trauma work. Meaning - I find that MANY people are talking about "Childhood Trauma" as if it's a separate thing. "Trauma-Informed Therapy" seems to be a new hot topic. Wondering what you feel about trauma and this seeming growth in trauma-focus.
- Use 5 secrets in relationship with someone with borderline personality disorder
- 5 secrets training
- How to make friends
- How TEAM principles can help you raise happy/healthy kids!
- Discussion of how to manage anxiety when it’s hard to pinpoint the direct cause, making it hard to challenge our thoughts. Also topics on panic attacks.
- integrating the buddha dharma with cbt
- Definitely PTSD (I have PTSD from finding my partner dead after a suicide), body image, more about dating and relationships.
- How to treat low self esteem.
- How to increase happiness. How to make touch decisions about careers or other things that have pros and cons. For example, doing the decision making form and having the scores be around 0 or both negative scores.
- How to heal after a break up and how to manage rejection while dating (e.g., someone rejects you after a few dates)
- I would love to see more episodes on habits and addictions and also a life episode on shame attacking exercises!
- Hundreds more (link)
- Anything related to organized religion. (Disorganized religion, I'm okay with!) lol) ;)
- Weight loss/eating disorders
- promoting other therapists
- "worried well" privileged patients.
- Anxiety and phobias
- Can’t think of any
- Why TEAM CBT is superior to all other forms of therapies.
- Nothing it is all helpful to make me realize I am not alone and we all have our own internal struggles
- I love it all
- Therapist workshop announcements
- Hundreds more (link)
- Keep doing listener questions and answers and case examples.. the Buddhist perspective of not having a self and bigger picture etc
- Hidden emotion technique examples ongoing as I think that helps to know what common pressures people have experienced in Davids practice that we might also see etc.
- Maybe fewer judgy comments, including more guest speakers, more inclusivity. Always love the live work
- Keep bringing in therapist from around the country in the world to talk about what they do with team
- No, just please keep making it.
- DON'T CHANGE A THING!
- I mention above but I think getting David out to more of the enormous self-help podcasts would really help spread the word and open a lot of people’s eyes. A big one that I think would be a great fit is the Tim Ferriss podcast
- It seems like a majority of the live therapy patients are TEAM CBT therapists so sometimes that can make me wonder if the techniques are as helpful to someone who doesn't already believe in the efficacy of the treatment. I'd like to see more treatment with people who are unfamiliar with TEAM CBT, although I realize that may not be possible.
- I have done extensive research with large numbers of people, comparing the ease and nature of treating shrinks vs the general public, and there is absolutely no difference in the types of problems they have, the intensity, or the speed of recovery.
- If anyone would like to volunteer to indemnify me, which would be immensely costly for you, I’ll happily work with anyone!

- I already have multiple times. Because the advice is different to what I hear elsewhere, it’s compassionate, blunt, and takes an inward look with a huge dose of kindness.
- It can change the way you live life
- Rhonda and David are so genuine together, smart, funny and informative
- It would help them, especially friends with depression or anxiety
- It is the highest quality methodology delivered by the highest quality therapists!!
- It helped and encouraged me
- too much advertising and plugging
- Because it offers real practical information that could be useful to anyone
- It helped me get out of a black hole
- It’s entertaining and informative.
- Life skills everyone should learn!
- Read both Feeling Good and Feeling Great. Dr. Burns’ content has saved my life! The five secrets has rewired my brain and helped me save my relationship, too! And Dr. Burns’ personality and sense of humor is just the icing on the cake.
