This was the most meaningful podcast that I've recorded to date, as I was joined by the legend Dr. David Burns.  

David is a psychiatrist and author known for his contributions to cognitive behavioral therapy. His book "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" explores the philosophical underpinnings of how our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors. As a professor emeritus at Stanford University, Burns continues to examine the intersection of psychology and philosophy, particularly in how individuals can rationally approach and overcome psychological challenges. His books have transformed millions of lives, while his "Feeling Good Podcast" reaches countless listeners worldwide.

In this episode, we discuss the underpinnings of TEAM-CBT, how David is incorporating this model into an app (Feeling Great), and we role play a therapy session.

Enjoy.

Christian Carter received his PhD from East Tennessee State University, where he studied accentuated eccentric loading and assisted with the weightlifting team, women's soccer, and men's and women's golf teams. He is currently the Director of Strength and Conditioning for Olympic Sports at James Madison University.

Very infrequently do you come across someone with a similar philosophy, life outlook, and interests. This was one of those instances. Christian is highly educated in sport science and human performance, an avid consumer of philosophy and psychological texts, and an all-around awesome person.

In this episode, we discuss Christian's revelation as a strength coach, authentic coaching, and his experience getting a PhD in sport physiology before taking over as the director at JMU.

Enjoy.
