What makes great therapists great?

In this podcast episode, Feeling Good Institute's Mike Christensen joins David Burns and Rhonda Barovsky to explore Deliberate Practice — a method that helps therapists sharpen their skills through real-time feedback, role-play, and courageous “joyous failure.”

This isn’t theory — it’s data-driven, humbling, and transformative.

Hear how these methods are changing the future of psychotherapy — and why David might’ve been right all along.

Have you ever heard a client say, “I’m such an idiot”?
In this technique video, Kevin Cornelius, LMFT and Richard Lam, LMFT walk through Dr. David Burns’ “Let’s Define Terms” technique — a powerful method for addressing labeling, one of the most common cognitive distortions.

By guiding clients to literally define the word they’re using against themselves, this approach helps them realize how irrational and self-defeating those labels truly are — and opens the door to more accurate, self-compassionate thinking.

Our Story

The Feeling Good Institute, with centers in Mountain View, California, Manhattan, New York, and online in many US States and Canada, is dedicated to help therapists provide better therapy for patients through training, certification and treatment in TEAM CBT. Our approach is an evidence-based form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), developed by psychiatrist David Burns, MD called TEAM-CBT. We started when a group of us, all students of Dr. Burns, graduated from Stanford University programs in psychiatry and behavioral sciences and decided to improve the accessibility of what we’ve learned to the rest of the world. We now offer treatment, training and certification as well as a community for therapists looking for advanced training in CBT.
