In 'Feeling Great', Dr. David Burns introduces a groundbreaking approach to treating depression and anxiety, known as TEAM-CBT (Testing, Empathy, Agenda Setting, Methods). The book challenges the conventional view that negative moods result from what’s wrong with us, instead suggesting they reflect what’s right with us. It includes over 50 practical tools and inspiring case studies to help readers overcome negative thoughts and develop feelings of joy and enlightenment. The approach emphasizes changing maladaptive thoughts through cognitive behavioral therapy and addresses resistance in therapy, making it a valuable resource for both individuals and mental health professionals[1][2][5].
This book, written by Dr. David D. Burns, outlines scientifically proven techniques based on CBT to help readers overcome negative thoughts and develop a positive outlook on life. It addresses common mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, guilt, and low self-esteem by identifying and correcting cognitive distortions. The book provides practical advice on recognizing and changing negative thought patterns, handling criticism, building self-esteem, and improving overall mental well-being.
