Are you familiar with Dr. David Burns work, “Feeling Good”? Today, I was reminded of his book, and how it made a difference in my life years ago. His work has changed thousand and possibly millions of lives. His approach is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You may be familiar with his list of ways we have distorted thinking. They are listed in the following article:

His work can be used for Cognitive Behavioral Coaching if a person is not moderately or severely depressed. The beginning of the book has the Beck’s Depression Inventory so you can take the inventory to decide if you need a coach or a therapist.
Coaching is more to help clients get rid of what Zig Ziglar called, “stinking thinking.” For more information on coaching, send me a message. It may change your life!
