Dr. David D. Burns, I am a reader of 'Feeling Good' and 'Feeling Great' in Korea. You may have heard expressions of gratitude many times, and it might not be as impactful to you. However, I want you to know that you have changed my life, and I am profoundly grateful beyond words. I wish you happiness and good health.
@@daviddbmd Of course, and I am grateful and honored that you read my comment. I can hardly believe how distorted the world I have been living in has been. Perhaps I am currently in a state of positive distortion. (The way I see the world has changed significantly, and it hasn’t been long since these changes occurred.) However, I believe that by using the "Relapse Prevention Training" mentioned in Feeling Great (especially Stage 2, which reminds us that techniques that initially worked are always effective), I can live a life that is less distorted in the future. Thank you!
Hello ! this comment is directed to Dr David burns. I saw the title of the video about Self. I remember his thrilling highly enlightening discussion on the principle of " language out of gear" ( words like real , unreal, free will , self worth etc.) .This was way back in around 2001 or so. those discussions happened in the internet in his Ask david q and a section. Internet was just getting to reach out all over the world. He had talked about his Ludwigg wittgenstein, Memoirs of ludwigg book written by malcolm .He talked about words like real, unreal , free will, worth etc. Those series of discussions immunised me very much from being affected by philosophical and psychological sickness of meaningless words that appear to have meaning. I think those discussions are still there in the net. I had saved those discussions and used to read them often. Over time there were so many other tons of materials and interesting stuff to read that I have a hard time seaching where those discussions were saved. I felt that David could publish them in a chapter in one his books. The concepts were absolutely fascinating. I wonder if Dr David remembers those conversations .
Thank you! I am so pleased that my comments have resonated with you and interested you. I may write about them more one day but we certainly get to talk about them, almost every week, on the podcasts! best, david
It is believed (and as explained in the Bhagavad Gita ) that the real nature of our self is Soul (Atma). We are souls and not this body. We have two self or ego- false ego that is being nurtured by the upbringing process and has to do with all identifications and experiences in this material world (also understood as illusion) and true self is our soul which never dies, but transfers from one body to another (pointed to the concept of reincarnation). Thank you for these sessions. Insightful. Lots of love to my TEAM-CBT family, blessings!!
Thanks for sharing your inspiring spiritual vision and beliefs! It encourages me daily when I do my walking and talking to the people and pets that I've lost. When a bird responds with its chirping, I ask, "Is that you, Obie?". (Obie is a beloved cat that I loved and lost.) best, david
@@daviddbmd I felt that deeply. I am also a pet parent. He is with me right now. But when you shared in the podcast I felt emotional. Thank you for all these episodes.
For me, this part is one of the difficult concept to grab compare to the rest of the book. But once you get it, it could be a life changing moment. Dr Burns, if you read this, i just want to appreciate your contribution to the world. I live in quite remote place in Asia, you wouldn't ever hear my city name but your work have reach me here and i hope more people can access your work. Sadly your printed book is not available here, and feeling great is not available on amazon as ebook (the delivery cost alone is around $50 to my house and it will be only available for shipping next October). I have to go trough( believe me or not) an antique store in my country to find your book, it was missing 10 pages but I still read it everyday (The feeling good handbook and i think this book is at least 20 years old). My friend happen to go to malaysia rencently and I ask her to find your book, to my surprise it was also hard to find in Malaysia (she asked 5 book store). So I still need to find away to get your book :D. thank you Dr burns, i wish you nothing but the best for you.
Thank you for this video on this topic, it was very clear to me! It's a shame that this chapter of your Feeling Great book was removed, because to me this philosophical point is one important tool (among the many techniques that you propose) to get read of negative thinking, and to heal. What you said about the DSM is refreshing, and I agree with it. So, you said schizophrenia and bipolar1 are mental disorders, and you explained why, but what would be the third: psychopathy? It woul be nice if you do another video where you dig on this. Your voice on it is really important. What the APA is doing is really concerning. Other psychatrists disagree with this business of labelling people. And you're right, it's detrimental to human beings. There is another psychological concept that you didn't talk about, but who looks similar to the "self", which is the "personality". What is your take on it, the same or different? Lastly, now in the spiritual domain, is the notion of the soul the same for you than the "self"? Or, in your opinion, could it be a possibility of an essential part of us which links us all to the Spirit, to spirituality? Looking forward to watching the other philosophical videos!
All fantastic comments, thanks! We'll address them on a future podcast, if that's ok. I'm also thinking that a live Q & A format might have some appeal as well, or possibly publishing my answers to these wonderful questions directly on UA-cam.
I believe we do know the cause of schizophrenia and bipolar. In her elegantly written and beautifully argued book "Mind, Modernity, Madness," Liah Greenfeld explains what appears to be a highly probable causal mechanism for the big three mental disorders. Since her theory is fairly new, I imagine it will be sometime before it is widely accepted, and I think this has everything to do with a social phenomenon called the "Kondratiev wave." According to Russian economist Nikolai Kondratiev, new knowledge takes around 40-60 years to achieve common acceptance. That timeline line matches most available data, apparently including cognitive psychology. It appears the allegory of Moses in the wilderness is an contemporary as ever! ❤ Courtney
Thanks for your creative thinking! Of course, theories have to be tested as well. The passage of time is not enough for science. Still, your comments are encouraging, as most of my ideas are still ignored by many people. best, david
Could we get down to the tribal roots of self? Everyone saying my God my flag my country? Do we have the same mantra in the graveyard, we are so deeply rooted in conditioning for time immemorial 😮Money is their God wrapped up in...
🤔 “self “ why are you trying find out the core of self - instead of outer boundary with life , so we start defining out to in … decisions capsulate “time “ - our choice gives us direction and make difference between each other ,

Loved the last point of positive distorted self.
Sadly, can't remember what the last point was! But love having you as a listener!
