Can You Treat ADHD with TEAM? Does Humor Play a Role in Therapy? What's the Difference between Rejection Practice and Shame-Attacking Exercises? Featuring Dr. Matthew May Note: Not all of the information covered here is in the podcast, and much of what we discuss in the podcast is not covered here. Questions for the next two Ask David Podcasts: Rich asks how you treat ADHD in TEAM. Hwa-Chi Qiu Alvarez asks about the use of humor in therapy. Rima asks about the differences between Rejection Practice and Shame-Attacking Exercises.   Rich asks: How do you treat ADHD? From Richard: How about a podcast concerning ADHD? I feel that applying TEAM would work. No? I mean “disorders” arise from distortions…so what does a distraction “disorder” arise from? Thanks for all you do David, Rich David's reply: Hi Rich, I don't treat “disorders,” I treat individuals at specific moments when they're struggling and wanting help! Hope that helps. As an aside, if you or a friend, colleague, or patient have ADHD and you can describe a specific moment when that person was struggling, I would love to hear about it! Then you'll see how TEAM works it's magic by focusing on individuals, and not “problems” or “disorders,” etc. TEAM is a “fractal psychotherapy.” I will explain! Warmly, david Matt's Take: Thanks for the question, Rich! I love what David is saying, about treating the individual, not the diagnosis. There are a lot of things that can interfere with focus and attention, such as. medical problems, sleep difficulties, toxin exposure, substance misuse, and relationship problems. In addition, depression and anxiety can interfere with concentration and contribute to ADHD symptoms. Below, I've listed many of the distracting thoughts that my clients have had. Along with a list of some good things about being Distracted. Hope you enjoy! Matt's A – Z List of Distracting Thoughts: I don't feel like doing this This is boring and no fun I never get to do what I want It's not fair I'll do it later There's plenty of time Best not to rush things I might be missing out on something interesting or important I'll check my phone one more time, real quick, and then get right back to work This time will be different. Seriously. I mean it. Actually, I'm feeling too tired to concentrate I'll just take a quick, 5-minute nap I'll get to work when I feel more rested and motivated I've had a hard day and deserve a little break and some fun Tomorrow's going to be really hard, so I need to rest up I just *can't* concentrate, at all There's something seriously wrong with me I lack willpower / I have no ambition I shouldn't have to do this There's no point doing this I'll never be able to do this I need to be doing important, interesting things It would be really exciting and fun to … x, y, z, instead I need to tidy up a bit before starting this big project I don't know where to get started / don't want to mess up I'll be too distracted if I don't take care of this one thing, first   Matt's A – Z List of GOOD Reasons to be Distracted I can be spontaneous, have fun and be present, in-the-moment I won't miss out on something interesting and important I won't waste my life doing boring stuff that leads nowhere I'll focus on what makes me happy I won't let other people control me or make my decisions for me I like to feel powerful and in-charge; I call the shots This is my time, nobody controls me It's calming to know that I'm in-control I want to treat myself with respect I want to be free, not shackled It's important to take breaks I want to maintain a good work-life balance It's fun and exciting to be a bit of a ‘rebel' I'm my own unique person, doing things my way I just want to ‘go with the flow', it's easier I want to be safe, protected me from failure. I can't really fail if I don't give it my all I can get instant relief from the pressure anxiety when I outsource this task to ‘future me' I deserve to do what I want, when I want to; I'm sticking up for me I can reject others' advice and feel superior I don't know where to start I can have more time to plan I'll be less likely to mess up if I consider my approach carefully I don't want to do an average job, this needs to be amazing I can prepare, talk, plan and complain; that's more interesting and fun than doing I don't have to face how dull and boring some parts of life can be I can daydream about a better life On the live podcast, Matt and Rhonda gave examples of individuals diagnosed with “ADHD” who all needed completely different and highly individualized treatment, which is what TEAM is all about. Matt described treating a boy with ADHD who would get anxious in class when he was called on to read out loud. He was afraid he'd get nervous and make mistakes, and the other students would judge him. The technique that helped him was the Feared Fantasy. Matt also described a fellow with ADHD who had trouble keeping appointments and getting places on time. He was helped by the technique I have called “Little Steps for Big Feats,” and the treatment was similar to the methods we used to treat procrastination. Rhonda described someone with ADHD who felt anxious in social situations, and he was helped with the same types of techniques we would used to help anyone with social anxiety. The bottom line: treat the person, not the so-called “disorder”!   Hwa-Chi Qiu Alvarez suggests: An episode focused on humor and its uses/impacts could be interesting, I didn't find any. What are some strategies for when humor backfires? How did you learn to appropriately use humor with patients? David's reply will include: First, time I “discovered” humor when teaching the psychiatric residents with Aaron Beck. How I think about my own use of humor: I just kind of blurt out things that are outrageous. Buddhists have concept of “Laughing Enlightenment,” which occurred during the Terri jumping jacks video. What laughing creates is the experience of not taking ourselves so The time I laughed with a patient during the entire session. When NOT to use humor, and what to do when it backfires. During the live podcast, Matt, Rhonda and David talked about why and how humor can be helpful—in therapy, in teaching, during podcasts, and in life in general. David talked about how he “discovered” humor when teaching a group of psychiatric residents at the University of Pennsylvania, and how he used a humorous Feared Fantasy to help a depressed FBI agent who was demoralized because he didn't have a sense of humor. This was a problem because the men at work of joked around the water or coffee pot during breaks. When David modeled how to accept the fact that he had no sense of humor during the Feared Fantasy, it struck his funny bone, and he laughed so hard he fell out of his chair. This was a paradox, since the very moment he accepted the fact, without shame, that he had no sense of humor, he suddenly discovered his awesome sense of humor! I, David, call that the Acceptance Paradox. David also described how humor helped a woman who had struggled for ten years with terrifying panic attacks and extreme depression. David also warned about the pitfalls of using humor with angry or severely depressed individuals who feel intense grief or extreme worthlessness and hopelessness. Matt's Take I've noticed that if you're ‘supposed' to laugh, you won't. But, if you're not supposed to laugh, you probably won't be able to stop laughing. Maybe that's why, when we tried to talk about it, on the podcast, it was really dry and unfunny? Normally I'm hilarious. Rima asks: I believe rejection practice is a fine art and I'm just trying to understand the specifics a little more, and how it differs from Shame Attacking Exercises. David talks about some of his male patients doing rejection practice by asking as many women out as possible and collecting no's from them. The way David explains it, it seems standard practice for the patients to self disclose to the women that they are doing the rejection practice and are collecting no's. My question is, if you disclose this information, would that be considered a safety behaviour and maybe less powerful exposure than not disclosing what you are doing? I'll give you a personal example that hopefully will clarify more. I have been doing my own rejection practice to experience how it feels for myself. One of the things I set myself was to ask someone to sing a duet with me. I found that a little daunting so to make it easier for myself, I disclosed to a woman that I am doing shame attacking/rejection practice and thus would she help me and sing with me. I felt I was using a safety behaviour and protecting myself from certain judgements from her. Therefore, I'm wondering if the patient disclosing what they are doing would be as helpful exposure as not disclosing. David Comment You are confusing Rejection Practice with Shame Attacking Exercises. They are actually very different. You can do Rejection Practice with or without telling the person what you are doing. Shame Attacking is just done without giving away what or why you're doing it. For example, if you want to sing in public, you can just do that. Or you can approach a person or couple and offer to sing for them, and then when done hold out your hand as if asking for a tip. There are certain general guidelines for Shame Attacking that we can mention, as they are very important. You can also do with as a duet with someone you know, so you are doing Shame Attacking together. But in this case, you are definitely not confusing it with Rejection Practice. During the live podcast, Matt discussed the pros and cons of two different styles of Rejection Practice, and David and Rhonda and Matt sharpened the contrast between Shame-Attacking Exercises and Rejection Practice, which are actually quite different, although there is clear some overlap. Rhonda described a Shame-Attacking Exercise that David persuaded her to do after a Sunday hike, in a Chinese restaurant when everyone was ordering dim sum. Rhonda went to a nearby table and asked the people who were seated if she could taste their food! This was almost impossibly anxiety provoking, but to Rhonda's surprise, they let her tase one of their dim sum and she said it tasted great. They asked if she wanted more! It was a great exercise in overcoming social anxiety. Matt described one of his outrageous Shame-Attacking Exercises in a grocery store, lying on his back making angels in the snow in the produce section, talking loudly about what an awesome grocery store it was. He said that he was surprised and relieved to discover that no one seemed interested in what he was doing. He said that one of our illusions is that people are incredibly interested in us, whereas in reality, most people are mainly interested in themselves! Quite a useful discovery. Matt's Take Hi Rima, thanks for this nuanced question, I can tell you've been paying close attention! As a little background, the fear of getting rejected can cause a lot of suffering and deprivation, both emotionally and in the form of loneliness, relationship problems and career development. Overcoming this fear can improve one's social life, relationships and career. However, there's a ‘necessary' part of overcoming any fear, which people don't want to do. It is to lower our defenses and face the fear directly. This is the only way to prove that we are, in fact, ‘safe', for example, when we are rejected. Rejection Collection (getting rejected frequently and regularly, and counting these as ‘wins') is a powerful social exposure method that has helped many people, including myself, overcome the fear of getting rejected.  Huge thanks to David for helping me overcome my resistance to trying this (extremely challenging) exercise. Doing so has helped me overcome my fear and has radically improved many aspects of my life. Exposure may not work, however, for a variety of reasons. A common one is motivational. For example, we may not want to feel ok, if we're getting rejected. We might prefer to feel upset, perhaps as a motivator to improve. Surprisingly, there are many good reasons to base some portion of our worth on the approval of others: Wanting to live up to their expectations, wanting to be open to feedback, wanting to avoid conflict, wanting to be maximally motivated to work hard, in our relationships, to be mature and responsible. TEAM therapy stresses the importance of raising these motivational elements to the surface for discussion, in an admiring way, before deciding whether to change anything about a person. If someone can still convince me that they want to overcome the fear of rejection and are willing to do the hard work, rejection collection is extremely effective and powerful. It's good to know that one's nerves won't be the thing that gets in the way of developing a wonderful social life. Rejection collection can still fail, however, for other reasons. For example, it's common to focus too narrowly on only one method. There are many, many methods that can help, and may be necessary, to overcome a fear of rejection. Just in the category of ‘Social Exposure' there are quite a few: TEAM Therapy Social Exposure Methods: ‘Smile and Say Hello' practice ‘Talk Show Host' technique ‘Self-Disclosure' ‘Flirting Training' ‘Survey Technique' ‘Shame attacking' ‘Rejection Collection' ‘Rejection Feared Fantasy' You're correct, too, Rima, about the problem of ‘safety behaviors'. Even if ‘rejection collection' were the method that could lead to a cure, it still might fail if we are, in some way, ‘protecting' ourselves, during the rejection collection exercise. The most common form of ‘safety behavior' I've seen, when doing ‘rejection collection', is to rush the process. Then, we can tell ourselves, ‘well, if I'd really tried and put in the time and all my effort, I wouldn't have gotten rejected'. This defeats the most liberating experience of, ‘I got thoroughly rejected, despite my best effort, and it's totally fine'. You asked, is it would be a ‘safety behavior'. if you said this to a stranger: “Please reject me, to help me get over my fear of rejection.', I would not necessarily label it as a safety behavior, unless it was the only thing that was said. I would consider this to be ‘Self Disclosure' (talking about oneself in a vulnerable way) combined with rejection collection. If this were the only thing you said to someone, then I'd agree that it's a ‘safety behavior', as there's a rushed element to it, as opposed to a ‘best effort, still failed, it's fine' experience. The liberation of a ‘real' rejection is a glorious thing and is, in my experience, most often achieved by combining multiple of the above techniques, starting with, ‘smile and say hello', ‘talk show host technique', ‘flirting', self-disclosure, survey technique and only then asking for a rejection. Practicing this for a bit using the ‘Rejection Feared Fantasy' (a role-play/practice exercise with one's therapist) is often great preparation for the real-life experience.

The Anxious Child— Three Common Errors Parents Make, and How to Avoid Them!  Featuring Dr. Taylor Chesney Today we interview Dr. Taylor Chesney who is the Director of the New York office of the Feeling Good Institute. She specializes in the treatment of children and teens, and today will tell us about the three biggest errors parents make in dealing with anxious kids. Dr. Chesney has been a guest on several of our podcasts in the past (episodes 107 and 263, and Corona Casts 4 and 6) and is a terrific teacher and therapist. She recently taught a 12 week course for therapists working with teens and children (ages 6 to 18) and their parents and brings us some of the highlights today. She always begins treatment by interviewing the child and the parents and pinpoints what they want help with. Then she assesses how hard they are willing to work to bring about that change. The goals may be quite different for the child and the parents. It's crucial to develop a meaningful therapeutic contract with the children, as well as the parents, as opposed to thinking your role is to “fix” the child for the parents. If the child is less than 11 years old, she meets with the parents first. If the child is 12 and up, she meets with the child first. Either way, she empathizes with the child and encourage them to tell their side of the problem. During or after empathizing, she does Positive Reframing, to show the child what their negative feelings, like depression and anxiety, show about them that's positive and awesome. For example, if you're sad about not being invited to a birthday party, it shows that you value friendships, and that you care a lot about other people. If the child is anxious, she will teach them how their anxiety can be helpful. For example, if the child is a good athlete or student, anxiety can be an important motivating force in their success. But sometimes we might get too anxious and feel intensely anxious about something that is not actually dangerous. Then you might experience your anxiety as trouble eating, a belly ache, trouble sleeping, or some other symptom that gets in the way of your optimal functioning. The most important question with parents and children is usually: “Do you want to learn some tools and skills to help you change the way you feel?” She also teaches children and teens what different kinds of emotions are, and the kinds of thoughts that trigger them. For example, if you feel anxious, you're probably telling yourself that you're in danger and that something bad is about to happen. If you feel guilty, you're probably telling yourself that you've done something bad, or that you hurt someone you love; and if you're feeling angry you may be telling yourself that someone is trying to hurt you or take advantage of you. Taylor brings the core cognitive therapy ideas to life with examples that children can understand.  Here's how she explains the idea, taught by Epictetus nearly 2,000 years ago, that our feelings do not result from what happens to us, but from our thoughts about what's happening. Let's say that you got a 90 on a test. How would you feel? You might feel overjoyed if you studied hard and felt like you did a good job and got a wonderful grade. However, if you felt like you had to get a 95 to raise your semester grade in the class to an A, and you even skipped going to the prom to study extra hard, you might feel sad, ashamed, frustrated, angry, and disappointed, telling yourself that you “failed.” Same grade, but two radically different emotional reactions, depending on how you think about your grade. Conclusion: it's not what happens, but what you tell yourself, that triggers all of your positive and negative feelings. Taylor said that anxiety is incredibly common in her clinic population and that surveys indicate that a whopping 25% of children have an anxiety disorder. She teaches her patients that anxiety in children, teens, and adults results from giving in to the urge to escape from a frightening or uncomfortable situation instead of facing your fears and discovering that the monster has no teeth. For example, Taylor was in the ocean with her 9 year old son, and there were jellyfish in the ocean. Her son was terrified and wanted to get out of the water and back to the shore. Taylor asked him what he was telling himself, and he said he was thinking that the jellyfish were bad. She also told him, “It's okay to be afraid and to be careful and avoid the jelly fish, but you can also choose to stay in the ocean. Then we can have some fun together playing in the water.” He decided to stay and have fun and felt proud of himself! She described Three Common Mistakes parents make in dealing with an anxious child. Error #1: The Quiet Out Trap She explained that we love our children, and don't want them to suffer, so we may give them an easy way out. For example, if your child is afraid to go to the party when you are dropping them off, you might say, “If you don't want to go to the party, we can go home.” This seems like a kind and loving thing to do, protecting your child. However, you're teaching the child that he or she can escape from anxiety through avoidance, so the child's fear of social interactions actually increases. It also teaches the child that you don't think they can handle the situation. An alternate response would be to say, “Let's go in and sit down together!” She advised against cheerleading or trying to convince your child that they have nothing to be afraid of (e.g. “it's not that scary” “there's nothing to be afraid of.”) Instead, you can tell them that it's okay to feel the fear but do it anyway, and you can often model that together with them. Error #2: The Escalation Trap In this trap, you let your fearful and avoidant child become more and more anxious and demanding, until they freak out and throw a temper tantrum, and then you give in to them. This, again, provides immediate relief, but in the long run you are training them to escalate and throw a tantrum to escape from having to face their fears, and on a broader scale, any time they want to get what they want. Error #3: The Mental Filtering Trap Mental Filtering is one of the ten original cognitive distortions, and it means focusing on the negatives in any situation and ignoring, or discounting the positives. It's a common cause of depression, but can also be a communication error if you focus excessively on what your child is doing wrong. Instead of pointing out your child's errors, you might say, “Johnny, I love how you stayed calm when X happened. You're really getting good at that.” In other words, you can comment on what they are doing right. She said that showing kids how to be successful is more effective than berating them for what they're doing wrong. This is an effective and low-stress way of reshaping their self-defeating behaviors. David mentioned that this positive style of communicating can also be highly effective in a work environment, and that he uses it a great deal in his interactions with colleagues on the app team. If done in a genuine way, it can quickly reduce conflict and enhance morale and mutual respect. How to Teach Parents David asked Taylor if many parents resist implementing these kinds of changes. Taylor said that if she calmly and clearly teaches the parents what they're doing that isn't working, using the Five Secrets of Effective Communication, most parents quickly become motivated to grasp their mistakes and change their strategies in dealing with their children. Taylor also “Sits with Open Hands” when making suggestions to parents. She explains it like this: This means that if what the parents are doing works for them, and they aren't willing to work hard to make changes, I accept this. But if they're willing to work hard and change, we can work together to help them implement more effective parenting strategies. Getting parents to work together as a team can be very important, but some parents may fight over the best way to discipline and raise their kids. These conflicts between mom and dad are one of the major causes of the unhappiness in the kids and get in the way of change. Taylor emphasizes “Little Steps for Big Feets,” and might set small attainable goals for the parents who are at odds. For example, can they just sit next to each other and perhaps even “fake” a unified front for one conversation? Parents do not have to commit to making these changes “for the rest of their lives,” but make experimental small changes instead, for a small discrete period of time, and then check in and see if the change makes a difference. If it does, they may be motivated to continue to try to implement more changes. Taylor typically works with children and their parents for 12 to 16 sessions and gives them a tool set to change some specific problem they came to therapy to solve. She has worked virtually for the most part since the start of the pandemic, but is now starting to see some people in person again.

Join Tina while she talks about how we can begin to utilize the rule of "3 Days a Week" in our running but also in so many other areas of our lives. We've learned over the past year that 3 days of running can yield HUGE results in our progress... so why not use that same strategy to apply it to other areas of our life? Want to meditate, journal, eat healthier, read more, get 8 hours of sleep? Why not start with small steps - just like we do in our program - in order to make those habits that we can stick with! Tina would LOVE to have your feedback on how YOU plan on implementing this strategy in your own life. You can connect with Tina on Instagram @RunWithTinaRepa or Facebook @TinaRepaRunning.

And are you really? - Led by your feeling versus your mind - Relinquishing perfectionism to allow growth      QUOTABLES: “At the time that transformation is happening in our lives, it doesn't feel always so big and momentous.

And a real shift happens.”  ​​”It's not a requirement to go so big all the time.
