#254, Ask Matt, Rhonda, and David (with the famed Dr. Rutherford Knows) Today we are again joined by the fantastic Dr. Matthew May for an Ask David. Rhonda and I are thrilled that Matt will be joining us every month. His input will give you a broader range of insights and answers to your many excellent questions! Here are the questions we will address on today's podcast. Karine asks: How can I help my daughter with anorexia? Shirley asks: How can you deal with people who are emotionally abusive, using the Five Secrets of Effective Communication? Guy asks: Are there any Five Secrets practice groups I could join? * * * Karine asks: How do I help my daughter with anorexia? Hello Dr. Burns, I am trying to help my daughter who is starting to have anorexia with your book as the consultations are not working and we are waiting on a list for a specialist which can take months or even year here in Quebec. I have read both of your last books and i am getting good to use it for social anxiety. However. i can't see exactly how to apply it for eating disorder. I asked her to list the benefits she gained from not eating and i am trying to help her see the cognitive disorder in it but it is much harder (ex: i loose weight quickly...which will do ... ) i may help her see the cognitive disorder in the « which will do ... » but not in the « i will lose weight » statement ). Could you help me see the pattern i should follow please as i really think your technique can help her faster and better than the traditional psychologist conversation. Regards Karine * * * Shirley asks: How can you deal with people who are emotionally abusive, using the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. Hello David and others, I have been convinced how important using the Five Secrets of Effective Communication are. I do have a question about living with a person who is emotionally abusive. He uses his criticisms of others to manipulate and control them. How do you accept the criticism of such a person who is taking advantage of you accepting the criticism. My soul wants to rebel against these criticisms and against the person who is trying to manipulate me. How do you navigate such a relationship when the abuser will never acknowledge that they are abusing others. He lives in a fantasy world of excuse making and blaming others. Also, how do I acknowledge my weakness and allow the “death” of my ego to happen? Thanks for your consideration and help. Shirley We reviewed this problem and describe how we treat relationship conflicts using TEAM-CBT. This involves giving up blame and examining your own role in the problem. You will discover--and this might be disturbing, or enlightening, or both--that you are contributing in a BIG way to the very problem you're complaining about. You can review Shirley's partially completed Relationship Journal if you link here. * * * Guy asks: Are there any Five Secrets practice groups I could join? David, Please consider asking one of your skilled therapists to create a Five Secrets of Effective Communication "Practice Group." Possibly the group could be run weekly (virtually) and it would be an opportunity to repeatedly practice each of the secrets. I practice on my own, but I know that learning is often strongest when working with others. Guy Marshall David's Response Hi Guy, Ana Teresa Silva has a five secrets zoom practice group. Check with her! They are just getting started. ateresasilva6@gmail.com We have an exciting podcast scheduled the next time Matt visits. We will address the many controversies around exposure therapy, and will be joined by a patient Matt recently treated with the fear of leaches! We will also address some of the hundreds of questions submitted by the more than 6,000 fans who registered for my free 90-minute presentation on rapid Recovery from Anxiety which was sponsored by PESI. All the best, Rhonda, Matt, and David (plus Rutherford) If you would like to contact Dr. May, you can reach him at: www.MatthewMayMD.com. Matt added that people interested in treatment can schedule a free 15-minute phone call there, my schedule permitting. Dr. Rhonda Barovsky practices in Walnut Creek, California, but due to Covid-19 restrictions is working mostly via Zoom, and can be reached at rhonda@feelinggreattherapycenter.com. She is a Level 4 Certified TEAM-CBT therapist and trainer and specializes in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Check out her new website: www.feelinggreattherapycenter.com.

#251, Ask Matt, Rhonda, and David (with the famed Dr. Rutherford Knows) Today we are again joined by the fantastic Dr. Matthew May for an Ask David. Rhonda and I are thrilled that Matt will be joining us every month. His input will give you a broader range of insights and answers to your many excellent questions! Today's questions were submitted by the more than 6,000 people who registered for my free talk on July 8, 2021 on the Rapid Treatment of Anxiety Disorders which was sponsored by PESI. I was very grateful to PESI for organizing this event, since it was open to shrinks as well as the general public, and that is the same audience that Rhonda and I are trying to reach with our Feeling Good Podcast. By the way, thank you for your ongoing support of the Feeling Good podcasts. Our four millionth download should happen in August! Please keep telling friends about the podcast if you think they might be interested. The very shy but erudite Dr. Knows may again join us and make an occasional comment. Let us know if you like his input and want to hear more from him in future podcasts. If you don't like him, we can quietly sweep him to the sidelines. Here are the questions we'll answer today: Hello Dr Burns, excited to be here at your talk today. Could you tell us more about dependency on anti-anxiety medications (benzodiazepines like Valium, Librium Ativan, Xanax, and so forth) and how to inform the client about the dangers of addiction? If this treatment you describe for anxiety disorders is 'rapid' does it linger? Is this rapid response you describe in your treatment of anxiety disorders merely first-aid? Am I right in assuming that the sustained work of psychodynamic therapy, body work, and so forth will still be required? Can you discuss any published or ongoing empirical research on the efficacy of TEAM-CBT compared to other therapy techniques? How does Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), developed in New York by the late Dr. Albert Ellis in the 1950s, fit into the picture? How does the cognitive distortion, Fortune Telling, apply to specific phobias? Rhonda, Matt, Rutherford, and I thank you for joining us today, and hope you enjoyed the dialogue! Rhonda, Matt, and David (plus Rutherford)

#250: How to Tell Someone, “You Suck!” Featuring special guests, Dr. Matthew May and the always exciting but pedantic Dr. Rutherford Knows, plus our podcast regulars, Rhonda and David Rhonda begins the podcast with a wonderful email from a woman who asked how you might use the Five Secrets of Effective Communication when you have to deliver give negative feedback to someone. Hi David and Rhonda, I'm an avid listener of the podcast and reader of Dr. Burns' material. I've been working my way backwards listening to all the podcasts, and I now own all of Dr. Burns' books and am working my way through those, too! I've especially found the live therapy on the podcast and role-play using the Five Secrets incredibly useful. The Five Secrets of Effective Communication are like a cheat code for life. As I've been applying it in my own life, every conflict has had a phenomenal outcome and I end up closer with the other person. It's incredible. You've given many useful examples of using the Five Secrets on the podcast to respond to someone, for example, who is attacking you and you use the disarming technique and inquiry to hear more about how it's been for them. My question is, how would you use the Five Secrets to initiate a conversation where you have to be the one to bring up something that the other person doesn't want to hear, or that it may be painful for them to hear? I started to think about this when consulting for a CEO who needed to fire someone, but needed to keep the relationship amicable, as well as consulting with another business owner whose employee had been deceitful and she needed to have a "come-to-Jesus" talk with him. Similarly, I've always struggled to bring up something that's bothering me to a spouse or loved one, because I didn't know how to initiate the conversation, and keep it from devolving into an argument (my greatest fear!). Could you perhaps do a role play on the podcast to demonstrate using the Five Secrets of Effective Communication to initiate a difficult conversation, such as: Firing or correcting an employee? Telling a spouse (or loved one) when you've felt hurt or angry because of something they did? Obviously you would still use all the same techniques (Stroking, I Feel statements, Inquiry, etc.), but I would love to hear an example. I find the role plays especially useful and would love to hear your expert wording for how you would approach this. Thank you to both of you for all your tremendous work! Rosemary We loved this request, and model how to deliver the bad news to someone using the Five Secrets. David mentioned that when he was in clinical practice, several women he treated were reluctant to give clear negative signals to men who were chasing them, for fear of hurting their feelings. So, out of excessive “niceness,” they ended up leading the man on, sometimes for months, and hurting him even more. It is probably far more merciful and caring to be honest with someone in a kindly way, so he or she can let go and move forward with his or her life. Rhonda, Matt, and David illustrate David's “Intimacy Drill.” In this exercise, the person delivering the bad news is Person A, and the person receiving the bad news is Person B. The drill involves four steps. First, Person A delivers the bad news to Person B, trying to use the Five Secrets of Effective Communication (link). The bad news might be telling Person B that she or he has been fired, or that you're angry with Person B, for example. Then Person A gives himself or herself a letter grade on how well she or he did. Was it an A, B, C, D, or an F? Then Person B and the observers give a letter grades to Person A as well.. Next, everyone points out what Person A did that was effective, and what was ineffective, using Five Secrets terms. For example, you might say that the Feeling Empathy and Stroking were great, but there was no “I Feel” Statement or Inquiry at the end. Then you can do a role-reversal, and try to model an improved response. This is, by far, the best way to learn the Five Secrets of Effective Communication. However, it requires non-defensiveness on the part of all who participate, and the philosophy of “joyous failure.” This means that you view your errors as opportunities for learning and growth instead of shame and defensiveness! If you want to master the Five Secrets for use in ANY situation, the “Intimacy Exercise” is a fantastic way to practice. However, remember to check your ego at the door, because you'll probably gets some low grades and make plenty of errors, especially if you're a beginner. But if you work at it, and keep practicing—which very few people do—you can develop some fantastic communication skills that can help you in personal and professional relationships. Today, we also introduced, in a small way, the very shy and erudite, and somewhat pompous, Dr. Rutherford Knows, who makes an occasional comment. He may agree to participate in future podcasts as well. Dr. Knows could be a really great podcast enhancement, since he (hopefully) makes the rest of us look really good! Let us know what you think! Rhonda and I are really pleased to work with Dr. May again. He is a dear friend and colleague, and, according to David and Rhonda, Matt is one of the finest therapists and teachers on planet earth! I strongly agree with this assessment of Dr. May. If you wish to contact him, you can reach him at: www.MatthewMayMD.com. Matt added that people interested in treatment can schedule a free 15-minute phone call there, my schedule permitting. Thanks! Rhonda and David Rhonda, Matt, and David (with Dr. Rutherford Knows)

I (Matt) can still remember the scene… I am in kindergarten. My mom has just arrived home from the commissary (grocery store) with a car filled with groceries. Next to the car is a big orange box of Tide laundry detergent. And by big, I mean big. But I want to help so I try to pick it up. Hulking up like Lou Ferrigno in green body paint (again, this is 1980...some of you know!), I am bound and determined to carry that box into the house. But it doesn’t budge. So I try to drag it. Just like those big European dudes in a strongman competition pulling a truck. I get a couple of feet before I lose my grip and fall backwards on the garage floor. This goes on for (what seems like) hours. I make it all the way to the stairs into our house. Stuck again. Couldn’t pick it up the first time. And now I’ve used all my Hulk powers dragging this blasted box across the garage. My mom asks if I need help. I stubbornly refuse. “I can do it myself.” That isn’t the last time those words come out of my mouth or my heart. Truth is, most leaders struggle to ask for help. We are convinced that self-reliance is the hallmark of good leadership. Well, it isn’t. Here’s the truth. Self-reliance is a window into the soul of unhealthy leadership. It strips the soul of gratitude. It robs us from the rest we desperately need. It grabs generosity and convinces us we can’t afford it. On this week’s episode, Tal and I talk about self-reliance as the enemy of spiritual health. Because of what God has done, is doing and will do, spiritually healthy leaders have hope. What does that look like in our lives? We’ll show you three signs of spiritually healthy leaders and help you take steps towards a hope-filled life and leadership. In this episode, you’ll discover: What will be in style (according to Tal) for men in 2024. Why leaders struggle to find and maintain spiritual health The power and practice of gratitude Two basic practices that help leaders rest well How to be generous...with boundaries. Why spiritual health is the foundation of the Five Factors framework Items mentioned in this episode: Article: 20 Menswear Items That Won’t Go Out Of Style… fivefactors.net/hope Book: Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Free Download: fivefactors.net/overview Ask Matt and Tal: fivefactors.net/ask Five Factors Facebook Group *Download Transcript Thank you so much for checking out this episode of the Five Factors Leadership Podcast.

Episode 028- Imagine loving a food so much that you quit your job and make a movie about it. That's what Matt Reynolds did. Reynolds is a filmmaker from central New York. He made a documentary about the finding the best wing called The Great Chicken Wing Hunt. Here is the trailer for The Great Chicken Wing Hunt. What was once a simple regional food that blue-collar guys enjoyed with a shot and a beer after a day's work at the plant, is now an international food phenomenon. On July 29th, National Chicken Wing Day was celebrated and it's been for some time. Coming up on Labor Day weekend, it is The National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival--two days of raucous celebration to honor the humble chicken wing. If you listened to Episode 005 of this show, you know I interviewed Dan Pashman, the host of The Sporkful. You might recall that he and I spent a good part of that interview talking about wings. In that show, he suggested I reach out to Matt Reynolds. I am glad I did. You can watch The Great Chicken Wing Hunt on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, and YouTube Movies. If you feel like making wings at home, try this recipe for Really Good Oven Fried Buffalo Wings from J. Kenji Lopez -Alt over at Serious Eats. Here is a link to learn his methodology on achieving wing greatness. Do you know a food guy who would be a great guest on Guys and Food? Let us know!

Matt Medeiros from The Matt Report is our guest. Our main discussion point, "Is it getting more difficult to make money in WordPress?" Matt Medeiros knows many different facets of the WordPress ecosystem. He's the owner of Slocum Studios, a WordPress agency that specializes in higher education and publication websites. He also hosts one of the most popular WordPress podcasts, The Matt Report. Slocum Studios is also behind the Conductor plugin, which is a unique display building plugin for WordPress. He recently launched PluggedIn Radio, which is a podcast and video channel dedicated to WordPress plugin tutorials. Because of the diversity of WordPress products and services Matt is involved in, we felt he was the perfect person to ask, "Is it getting harder to make money in the WordPress sandbox?"
