Podcasts about Cognitive behavioral therapy

Nobody has a reference for parenting teens. For many, this is the first time doing this, so what are the right answers? Let alone what are the right answers for what you're comfortable with. If you as a parent are doing the best you can, with the best intentions then you're parenting fine. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Michael Klinkner. Michael is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 22 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults in therapy. Michael has specialty training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Neurolinguistic Programming. Currently, Michael is working with Evolve Counseling in Arizona where he treats a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD, focusing primarily on children, teen and adolescent populations. Together Graham and Michael discuss the challenges around teen mental health, the changes in positive socialization, as well as the dangers of social media and how to guide your child's relationship with technology as they mature, and finally encouraging parents to be proactive and have the difficult conversations to establish trust with your teen and ensure they're getting the right information. Most parents are doing the best they can, given their resources. If they had better resources they'd do better. We're not perfect parents. What are the small, but important things you can do today?   For more information about Michael Klinkner and Evolve Counseling, please visit: https://www.evolvecounselingaz.com Connect with Michael on Instagram at michael_klinknercouseling, or visit: https://www.instagram.com/evolvecounseling_AZ/ Finally, connect with Michael on Facebook at michaelklinknercounseling, or visit: https://www.facebook.com/michaelklinknercounseling

My sleep hasn't been great for years. I never have trouble falling asleep, but I wake after about 5 hours and then have trouble getting back to sleep.  I average about 7 hours of sleep a night, sometimes more, sometimes less. A few years back, after hearing author Matt Walker talk about his book, Why We Sleep on a podcast (watch his TED Talk), I went down the rabbit hole (not for the first time) on ways to improve my sleep. I'm happy to report, that it many ways, it has gotten better and my relationship to sleep has as well.  I write this as a preface for why the topic of this episode is so important to me. Sleep is important for mental and physical health, and for the quality of our work product, our relationships, and the broader work environment as we'll here from my guest, Professor Christopher Barnes. Christopher Barnes is a Professor of Management and the Michael G. Foster Endowed Professor of Management at the Foster School of Business. His recent research over the past few years focuses on sleep and its impact on work, ethics, decision making and work place engagement. His research has been featured in the Foster Business Magazine, Harvard Business Review, and a TEDx Talk I've long wanted to have Professor Barnes on the podcast, somewhat selfishly, because of my own interest in -- and challenges with sleep. In April of 2022, I invited him to present to faculty and staff as part of my work on the Health, Wellness and Professional Development Committee at Foster, and after that, I knew I what he had to say would be important to my listeners. We discussed how sleep hygiene can improve sleep: Stick to a schedule for wake time and bed time. Avoid alcohol, caffein and nicotine too close to be time, up to 12 hours prior for caffein. Use your bed for just two things, sleep and sex.  Don't stare into your smart device screen before bedtime, We briefly touch on his research on Blue-light filtering glasses, and we discussed one reputable supplier, Swanwick Sleep. I'll add: keep your bedroom dark and cool. Consider lowering the lighting in your house in the hour or two before bed Get bright  (preferably natural) light upon waking. For those of us in the PNW, you might want to get a "happy light" for these dark winter months, and use it for 20 minutes upon waking. (I have one from Verilux.) Some other important resources: If you suffer from insomnia or sleeplessness, the best experts now recommend avoiding sleeping pills. From my reading, the jury is out on Melatonin except at low doses for short periods of time (like around dealing with a time change). One reason why sedatives and melatonin aren't great is that while they will bring on sleep, they disrupt the best kind of sleep for your brain, deep wave sleep. I learned about this from Matt Walker, so if you want to learn more, follow the links in the first paragraph, or check out this three-part podcast.  The gold standard is now Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, or CBT-I. You can even get apps and online programs to that deliver CBT-I therapy, some are actually FDA Approved. Chris mentioned Sleepio.  There is also a free email based program from Insomnia Coach that I found helpful.  There are some supplements that can help with sleep, but you should talk to your doctor about taking anything regularly for help with sleep, whether it is over the counter, or prescription. Chris also mentioned Arrianna Huffington's book, The Sleep Revolution (you can watch a talk she gave for Talks At Google, or read an interview with her), Dr. Nathaniel Watson (also at UW) and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. There is also a great recorded talk from the Whole U Speaker Series with Dr. Michael Vitiello on Getting a Good Night's Sleep.

We are wired to move toward things that make us feel good and away from things that make us feel uncomfortable. It's that narrative in our mind that limits us. However, when you challenge yourself and put in the effort, it could be transformational. On today's podcast we welcome back Dr. Susan Hannan to discuss the benefits of doing hard things.If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

How to Grieve: From Cicero and Stoicism to Modern practices, How Can Philosophy HELP US Handle Loss? Panel DiscussionIn 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech―not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked.Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward.This panel discusses the revelations of Cicero's consolation and how they relate to both the ancient philosophy of Stoicism and modern behavioral cognitive therapy... all with the aim of finding a better understanding on how to grieve.Watch eminent professors and authors, Michael Fontaine, Massimo Pigliucci, and Donald Robertson for this thought-provoking, important conversation. About the Speakers:Michael Fontaine is Professor in the Department of Classics at Cornell University, New York and author of many books and articles, including: How to tell a Joke, The Pig War, How to Drink: A classical Guide to Imbibing, and most recently, How to Grieve: An Ancient Guide to the Lost Art of Consolation.Massimo Pigliucci is the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York and author of many books, including How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life... and most recently, How to Be Good: What Socrates Can Teach Us About the Art of Living Well.

Many of us are familiar with the placebo effect, a beneficial effect produced due to the patient's belief in that treatment. Psychological factors like mindsets and expectations have a connection to our physiology. It's been proven in multiple clinical studies and researchers continue to explore more about the mind-body link. On today's podcast we discuss beliefs, mindsets and the placebo effect. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

The amazing Victoria Fenton joins me today from across the pond in England to share one of the greatest British accents I've ever welcomed to the program. Well, that and the fabulous feeling when you know something is wrong with your body, and no medical professional will take you seriously while regurgitating back to you that it's all in your head. Victoria was misdiagnosed for over a decade as a teenager while suffering from all sorts of life-threatening symptoms. Consistently greeted with "You have mental health issues. Get over it." she was finally diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue. She realized that when you have no control over something, it helps you take control of it. She chose to immerse herself in natural language processing and cognitive behavioral therapy. She soon realized the obvious: Our minds and our bodies can control the way we interact with the universe around us. Not heal. Not sure. But help manage the way we deal with stressors.

Learn how to modify social media and promote your services in a way that feels good. Today's guest knew there was a need for it – that so many people didn't feel like they could fit into the "influencer" mold and that they needed someone to show them how to do social media in a way that felt good for them. "I realized that if I had that need and if that was something that helped me, that there were hundreds, if not thousands of other people that needed the same thing." Jasmin Murphy is a woman who has spent her entire life learning to love herself. On her own journey to lose over 200lbs naturally, she battled the idea of being body positive. But, through this journey, she found that when you learn to love yourself from the inside out, and has become the premier Body Positive Health and Wellness Coach. In 2017 Jasmin took the next step in her journey and became a certified Health and Wellness coach so that she could help other women find their way back into loving themselves while reaching their health and wellness goals without shame or the guilt of diet culture. But she didn't stop there. Jasmin has since become a certified group exercise instructor, and received certifications in Self-control psychology and weight loss, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gut Health Practitioner, and nutritional diet planning just to name a few. After an almost fatal health crisis in 2018, Jasmin made the decision to undergo Duodenal Switch Bariatric Surgery. In August 2020 she successfully had surgery and had to date released 208lbs. Since she had undergone bariatric surgery, Jasmin has become passionate about dispelling the myths that surround weight loss surgery and shows how you can make the decision to have weight loss surgery from a place of self-love and healing. Jasmin has helped over 250,000 women on their journeys to reclaim their health and wellness between her public platforms and private membership community. Her goal is to create the world's premier space for size-inclusive health and wellness teaching women how to create their own version of strong that feels good to them. During this time Jasmin went from having zero social media presence, being homeless, and struggling to make ends meet to building a devoted community of over 150K, over 20 Million video views, a 6 figure membership program, and non-stop media coverage with no ad spend, engagement pods, or bought followers. She could do this by learning how to efficiently leverage social media and her story to give people what they were looking for that kept them invested in her brand and, more importantly, themselves. Now she teaches other entrepreneurs to do the same. In this episode, you will learn the following: How Jasmin got started in entrepreneurship What led her to her current work helping others The importance of self-love and trusting yourself How to modify social media to fit their goals, morals, and brand values Links & Resources: Website - www.jasminmurphy.com Instagram - @jasmin.r.murphy LinkedIn - Jasmin R Murphy facebook - @jasminrmurphy Email - hello@jasminmurphy.com ✨ Let's connect on IG--> instagram.com/kris10edwards_ ✨ Work with Me--> www.kristenedwardsspeaks.com/ ENJOYING THE PODCAST?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) can be split into at least five core components: 1) sleep restriction therapy, 2) sleep hygiene, 3) stimulus control, 4) cognitive restructuring, and 5) relaxation therapies. Sleep restriction therapy has been shown to be one of the most effective components of CBTI. It  isn't about restricting your sleep so much as limiting the amount of time you are allowed to spend in bed, and it aims to drive up the brain's appetite for sleep, and promote long bouts of unbroken sleep. Sleep restriction works by targeting the natural buildup of adenosine in your brain. Limiting time in bed through sleep restriction means you are awake longer, and the longer you are awake, the greater the build-up of adenosine. After several nights, sleep restriction helps you build up a wonderfully healthy amount of sleepiness that allows you to fall asleep more easily, and stay asleep soundly across the night. Because sleep restriction helps with building sleep pressure, it increases your sleep efficiency, meaning that you sleep almost all the time you're in bed even though you're in bed for less time overall. Once your sleep has stabilized, your clinician will start to add back more time that you're allowed in bed.The second component of CBTI is sleep hygiene, covered in the previous episode all about sleep optimization The third component involves teaching relaxation methods, such as stretching, breathing, and meditation. The fourth component is cognitive restructuring, which involves your clinician helping to disrupt and scientifically disprove your misbeliefs and anxieties around sleep.  The fifth component is called stimulus control, which means not laying in your bed fretting and catastrophizing. Stimulus control seeks to help you gradually extinguish the bad associations you may have with your bed/bedroom.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Those fine people at Athletic Greens are one of the sponsors of this week's episode. and they are generously offering three benefits for anyone who uses the above link for their first order: 1) a discount on your order; 2) a one-year free supply of vitamin D; 3) five free travel packs.

It's safe to say that every parent has felt shame or embarrassment – in response to their child's behavior – at some point in the parenting process.

In this episode, Axel and Patrick delve into why we feel shame, the consequences of shame, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy reframing strategies to prevent and diminish feelings of shame.

As most of you have gathered by now, I've spent hundreds of hours researching the topic of gender ideology. And I've done so because I believe it's the most divisive topic of our time, as well as the most misunderstood.My guest today is going to help us all better understand the complexity of this topic, both from the perspective of a subject matter expert, as well as someone who has suffered from childhood gender dysphoria herself. Stella O'Malley is an Irish psychotherapist who specializes in gender dysphoria, and holds a B.A in Counseling/Psychotherapy, a Masters in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and additional diplomas in Youth Studies, Psychometric Testing, and Gender Identity Counseling. She's also the author of four books on parenting and the mental health of children. She's a regular contributor to newspapers, broadcast television, podcasts, and a sought after speaker and writer on the topic of gender dysphoria. In 2018, she published her documentary, Trans Kids: It's Time to Talk. And to quote Suzi Fei of the Financial Times, “It's where compassion meets controversy”. I hope you enjoy Stella and her expertise as much as I did.

So you think you know how a lack of deep sleep affects you? Unless you follow someone like https://www.sleepdiplomat.com (Matt Walker), the preeminent neuroscientist specializing in sleep, or one of his colleagues around the world, you may miss out on information that will encourage you to make sleep a priority. And increase the likelihood of aging in good health. It's no secret that as we age, regular, sound, sleep seems to elude us unless everything is Goldilocks perfect. Not too hot, not too cold, not too much on our minds, the creaky back isn't complaining, and on and on. But, as you'll find out in this episode, it's possible to improve your sleep, though it's not likely to happen overnight. (Couldn't help myself) Why dedicate a shortie to sleep when the internet is full of blog posts and articles on the subject? Because the negative impact of under-sleeping, as researchers call it, is in short supply. But it's information that can make a difference in how you age, so here we go. Let's start with one of Matt's many thoughts on sleep. “Sleep is the greatest life support system you could ever wish for. It's a remarkable health insurance policy. It is largely democratic. It's free and it's largely painless." The greatest life support system... He doesn't say it's a good idea, that it's one of the ways we stay healthy, he says it's the greatest, and goes on to say it is the foundation upon which all other good health habits rest. We now know that lifestyle accounts for 70% to 80% of our health and risk of disease. Sleep de-risks us more powerfully than what we eat or how we move. (Those things are mighty important, but sleep trumps their effects.) And, without proper, deep sleep most nights of the week, it will be harder to lose weight, control cravings, have the energy to move, and stay sharp throughout the day. To get specific about the weight loss thing, when you under-sleep, 6 hours or less per night, are not as efficient the next day when exercising. When dieting or calorie restricting and under-sleeping, you lose muscle rather than burn fat. Cortisol plays a role with insulin close behind. And those two hormones in this instance, are related to stress. Managing stress during the day and or de-stressing before you go to sleep will make a big difference. Sleep hygiene--creating a routine that you follow every night leading up to sleep-- is an important tool in your better sleep toolbox. It includes things like checking your bedroom for light, temperature, comfort, and noise. (I go into all of them in the podcast) What about sleeping pills like Lunesta and Ambien? Nix them. You have a https://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/news/20120227/sleeping-pills-called-as-risky-as-cigarettes (higher risk of death,) https://www.alzinfo.org/articles/caregiving/sleeping-pills-may-increase-your-dementia-risk/ (higher risk of dementia )if you use them regularly. According to Dr. Walker, "Ambien isn't like sleep. You're confusing sleep with a lack of consciousness. These drugs are termed sedative hypnotics. "so like hitting you over the head and you're unconscious, it does not give restorative sleep." Matt says.These drugs can also be addictive. But what if you suffer from insomnia? Get help from a professional if the sleep hygiene tips and herbal supplements like https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-melatonin/art-20363071 (melatonin) don't work. There are different kinds of insomnia and each has particular types of therapy to resolve. https://sleepeducation.org/patients/cognitive-behavioral-therapy/ (Here's the best place to start to find a professional specializing in insomnia therapy. ) That link will take you to a site that describes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, in detail.

52. You have the right to remain silentEPISODE NOTESWho determines the truth? Despite resistance from physicians fearing government overreach, California's Medical Misinformation Bill AB-2098 was passed in the state senate and enrolled on September 1, 2022. This bill now sits on the desk of Governor Newsom for veto or signature into law. If signed into law, discussing the risk vs. reward of Covid treatments with patients could be labeled “misinformation” and put physicians at risk of losing their medical license. On today's podcast we debate truths and the role of the scientific method.  AB 2098 Take ActionIf you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

This episode, one of my favorites, contains the discussion with Michael Edwards, who spills the beans about his inspirational journey of healing from stage fright and becoming a therapist. He uses a very specialized kind of hypnotherapy called RTT (Rapid Transformational Therapy). This form of anxiety treatment borrows elements from Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Neuro-linguistic programming, and Hypnosis. Simply put, it entails working with the subconscious mind where all of the repressed emotions from your early childhood are hidden and driving your thoughts and actions without you even realizing it. In the course of the treatment, the patient is made cognizant of the latent programming of their mind that they acquired during their early days as a way of adapting to their specific circumstances. Then, this negative programming that badly affects their life is replaced with a positive one by the therapist. This shift of the mindset then helps them to overcome the self-destructive thought patterns and eliminate the anxiety from its root. Tune in to understand the ins and outs of this wonderful and highly effective treatment method.

For the last two months we have had a number of insightful conversations on psychiatric medications and harm caused by the overprescription of drugs. A good way to close out those episodes is to reshare one of our very first episodes to simply answer the question, “Do antidepressants even work?” Originally published in July of 2021.------------When a product is launched in a particular category we expect it to satisfy an unmet consumer need or perform as intended. Shampoo, caffeinated coffee, or running shoes. If the product doesn't work, it won't sell. How often are we scrutinizing our use of pharmaceuticals? Instead, we rely upon the recommendations of our healthcare providers. What if those drugs don't work? And, what if the established guidelines for standard of care are flawed. On today's podcast Roger, Kelly and Sean discuss the efficacy of antidepressants and the subjective process used by doctors to apply the label of “depressed” on us all. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

304: TEAM-CBT, Spirituality, and Beyond: Featuring Angela Poch Rhonda begins today's podcast, as usual, by reading two touching emails from podcasts fans, including Coach Teddy, who said that Podcasts 295 and 296 featuring live work with Zeina were incredible, and Carol who was equally enthusiastic about Podcast 297 (on “Homework—Yuck!). Carol also strongly recommends David's book, Ten Days to Self-Esteem which is a simplified version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that can be used as a manual for therapy or self-help groups. https://www.amazon.com/Days-Self-Esteem-David-Burns-M-D/dp/0688094554 Today, we interview Angel Poch, a certified life coach, registered professional counselor, and certified Level 4 TEAM therapist and trainer. She lives two hours north of Glacier National Park in British Columbia, but teaches therapists and treats people virtually from around the world. Her new booklet, “The Truth Shall Set You Free,” integrates TEAM-CBT with a Christian perspective and is available for free on her website. https://www.angelapoch.com/. She is a regular in David's weekly virtual psychotherapy training group at Stanford and assists in the teaching. She has also worked tirelessly and selflessly behind the scenes making David's work way more accessible to lay people as well as mental health professionals wanting to learn more about TEAM-CBT. For example, she adds links to every new Feeling Good Podcast on David's website, so you can easily find and link to more than 300 podcasts. Check it out! She has also transformed a massive amount of David's work into electronic tools for shrinks, accessible in David's online shop: Recently, she has created two amazing new documents you can link to. One is a spreadsheet that lists 138 of David's TEAM-CBT tools and techniques, like the “Anti-Procrastination Sheet” and many others, with page links to the descriptions of how to use each tool in David's books, like Feeling Good, Feeling Great, David's TEAM-CBT therapist eBook, and many others. Check it out! This data base will be invaluable to interested lay people, therapists, and teachers who want clear instructions on how to use the Daily Mood Log, Relationship Journal, and numerous additional tools and techniques. Derek Gurney and Angela are working on an equally awesome database for the Feeling Good Podcasts: Check it out as well! Angela begins her personal statement in today's podcast by describing her struggles with depression and irritability, including some very dark days in 2006. Her doctor recommended an SSRI antidepressant, and she went to integrative health program, “Depression: the Way Out” that required participants to read Feeling Good https://www.amazon.com/Feeling-Good-New-Mood-Therapy/dp/0380810336 Although she didn't love the book, she resonated with the idea that all of our feelings, positive and negative, result from our thoughts, or perceptions, and her depression cleared up. She liked that when she read Feeling Good, she got many new tools she could use to change her negative thoughts and feelings. She also appreciated the ideas in the book didn't go against her belief system, which many fear about psychology. David pointed out his own father, a Lutheran minister, worried about this, and was very suspicious of psychiatrists. Angela's thinking, which resonates with David's, is that the core ideas of religion and psychotherapy are actually high compatible, and even synergistic. Angela explains that when she was a young child, she didn't fit in socially or even in her own skin. “I felt like I was a boy in a woman's body. I felt like I was in the wrong body, and prayed for help.” She started to see in a very limited, childlike way, her thoughts were distorted, that a body was just a body and she could trust God wouldn't give her more than she could bear. These new realistic, counter thoughts relieved the negative body dysmorphia she'd been struggling with. She reports, “I decided it was okay to be flawed and not fit in.” The rest of her young childhood was mostly joyful. In middle school she was the target of mean-spirited bullying because she was a tomboy. She developed intense social anxiety and was relieved when her mom took her out of school. She was homeschooled for a few years and studied Karate to exercise and develop some confidence. High school brought new challenges. She describes responding with her version of the Five Secrets of Effective Communication to an aggressive bully who threatened her with brass knuckles and challenged her to fight her. However, the girl backed off and started telling people that Angela was her friend! After a bad relationship, Angela started to struggle with depression and described her suicide attempt when she was 18 because “I wanted the pain to stop.” She explains that: I met my husband, moved home, and started reading the Bible. I was impressed by the passage, “the truth shall set you free.” I realized I had to control my own thoughts rather than look for the approval of others, but she still didn't totally recovery from my anxiety. The cognitive piece in Feeling Good helped Angela a lot. She states, “I pursued a lot of careers, never holding down a job for more than 6 months, and one day someone asked if I'd considered a career in counseling. . .” She went on to take one of David's four-day live intensives in Whistler BC where she learned TEAM-CBT and hasn't looked back since! After learning and applying TEAM, Angela was able to crush her social and other anxieties. Angela has a deep love for her Creator and has done a great deal of thought about the integration of her Christian faith with TEAM-CBT. David also has a strong interest in the overlap between TEAM-CBT and virtually all religions and spiritual paths. He described an unusual and overpowerful spiritual experience he had as a medical student crossing the Nevada desert that made a strong impact on him. Angela would like to mention, “I have a profound gratitude for David's work. He makes things so clear and relatable. His approach is applicable to all faiths or no faith if one is truly ready to give up their negative thoughts and feelings. As we aim for the truth, and let go of the so called “self,” we find peace and joy. I will forever be indebted to him because I would not be able to help people without TEAM and that brings me joy every day!” I, David, would like to thank Angela for her intense and tireless devotion to helping spread the “gospel” of TEAM-CBT in so many ways! Thanks for listening today! Angela, Rhonda, and David I
