Product Information

Mind Reading. You assume you know what other people are thinking and feeling. If you’re at a party, for example, and feeling nervous, you might assume people are judging you. Emotional Reasoning. You reason from how you feel. This can be very misleading because your feelings result entirely from your thoughts and not from external reality. For example, because you feel like an idiot, you reason you must be one. Labeling (LAB). Labeling events and people as though the events and people are those things essentially. For instance, you call your former friend a bad person on the basis of this instance in which you're mad at him.Okay, so you go through your itemized list of negative thoughts and find out which thought conforms to which negative thought pattern.

Feeling Great – The Revolutionary New Treatment for Depression and Anxiety

George and Mae try various sexual roleplay scenarios. Mae mentions Scott in a nightmare, though they seem to be on good terms when they video call. However, when a woman calls Mae and tells them about a negative experience she had with Scott, Mae drinks a bottle of mouthwash. My main issue with this book is that the author spends SO MUCH TIME trying to convince us that his “revolutionary” methods are the best ever & the only ones you’ll need & they’ll solve all your problems nearly instantly! Obviously, that’s a bit of an exaggeration on my part, and he does finally take a slightly more pragmatic view towards the end of the book, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth for the entire reading experience. He also spends a lot of time selling us on himself, his podcast, blog, and other books; I mean, I get why he does, and to his credit a lot of the resources are free and plentiful, I just personally find it a turn-off in any of the books I read.

No matter what’s going on in your life, hearing the right song at the right time can make everything feel better, at least for that moment. Feeling Great” basically describes a slightly enhanced form of CBT (called TEAM-CBT by the author) - still mainly about combating negative thoughts & cognitive distortions, with more of a focus on positive reframing (eg “how do these negative thoughts reflect a positive trait you have?” and “what are some benefits/advantages to these negative thoughts & feelings?”), as well as some aspects/techniques lifted from mindfulness & other modes of therapy.
