We had people do five secrets in the breakout rooms. And then they would work on what they're learning through the app also with each other in the breakouts. I think people generally loved it, those groups. And we get feedback after every session. So like you're saying, David, we get better and better over time.
Yeah, I think it's great. And sometimes it's hard to see feedback if it's negative feedback, but it's a gift. Feedback is a gift. It helps us grow and learn.
Well, I know there were a lot of folks, but I did have the pleasure of reading drafts.
poem by roomie yeah yeah roomie yeah yeah do you remember anything about that poem i think i put it in the in the book what yeah it was a poem i think the one that you in the book was called inside this new love die your way begins on the other side your life is covered in thick clouds slide to the side um there's this beautiful part that says um
Take an ax to the prison walls, walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now, the full moon. The speechless comes out now, something like that.
Yeah, it's such a beautiful thing to see as we do some demos in the Feeling Great Book Club event and see some of these role play techniques you've developed are so powerful and with enough preparation, you know, going through the agenda setting, of course, the testing empathy.
And then getting to some of those, you can see people just shift and accepting their own humanity, accepting themselves as human and not having their egos be so much in the way. You know, some moments of like, as you call enlightenment.
No, I love working with large groups of people, but I also love working with small groups. And also the combination is beautiful. So I'm very happy with how the book clubs have turned out. And that's really thanks to you.
It's not what makes me happy.
It's not my motivation, but it brings such joy to do these. And also, as you were speaking, it reminds me of the five secrets, which is also a way to lose our ego. Once we can truly disarm and let our ego step aside, having those skills is also a way to start to let our ego step aside.
And so to weave that into another plug for our groups, we also do these five secrets, what we call deep practice groups, where we have small groups of eight people about, and we work with people in that group and with breakouts to learn the five secrets and practice those deeply.
Sometimes we'll do a forced empathy exercise and really help people hone these skills that are so helpful in terms of communication in all kinds of areas of our lives.
Yeah. And all people really need to remember is feelinggreattherapycenter.com, actually, because then you can you can find it there. Oh, yeah. If you want to go directly to the education, you can add that.
You both are so kind and so heartwarming and I'm blushing here. So, but thank you so much. And, and just also for the ways that both of you touch so many people in such healing ways, it brings tears to my eyes to think about your work, David, over these decades and also to the podcast that just really touches people and heals people.
Podcasts are such a gem. And as a therapist, they reorient me towards good therapy every time I hear them. Yeah. Yeah. Fantastic.
Yeah, such an effective and efficient and enjoyable app to use. And so it's just really exciting to be able to support people in using that and then working on these tools for anxiety and depression and coming together.
And so Heather and I have found that there's such a power in groups and people coming together, supporting each other, hearing each other's experience while they're working through something like initially the book clubs. working through David's book, Feeling Great, but now with the app. And so we'll have 10 weeks of groups and we're structuring it around the different lessons that are in the app.
And then during that, people can also be using this fantastic AI chatbot, which is like a really great therapist, a really efficient and wonderful therapist following the team model. And so this starts September 23rd, goes on for 10 weeks.
Oh, I'm sorry. It's eight weeks at 4 p.m. Pacific time. And so... So there's an ability during those eight weeks to meet as a large group and have demonstrations and ask questions from Heather and I. And then to break out into small, more intimate groups to get help from each other.
We'll have questions that structure those smaller groups so that people can really dive deep into the different topics that are discussed and sometimes practice activities as well in those small groups. And then we come back into the big group to summarize things and ask other questions from Heather and I. That's really, really fun. I've been loving doing that, loving working with Heather.
