  • 352: Ask David: Marijuana, Anger, Ultra-Short Sessions, and more
    Jul 10 2023
    Featuring Dr. Matthew May In today’s podcast, Matt, Rhonda and David discuss four challenging questions from podcast fans like you: 1. what do you do with patients who use marijuana excessively but have no interest in changing or reducing their use? 2. How do you help clients control their anger? 3. How can you use TEAM if you are only allowed to see clients for 15 to 20 minutes? 4. If David never went into the medical / mental health field, what career path do you think you would have chosen? The answers on the show are live and will differ considerably from the information below, which is primarily to document the full questions that the fans submitted. 1. When a client expresses concerns in multiple areas of their life, such as mood, relationships, and habits, is there a particular hierarchy that you follow? In particular, what do you do with patients who use marijuana excessively but have no interest in changing or reducing their use? I'm particularly interested in your perspective on the hesitancy within the therapeutic community to treat individuals with co-occurring depression and anxiety, alongside marijuana habits or addictions that they do not wish to address. How do you approach and navigate this complex situation, and what are your thoughts on effectively addressing the client's mental health concerns while considering the impact of their substance use on the therapeutic process? With the increasing acceptance and use of medical and recreational marijuana, do you believe it is still morally or ethically justifiable to turn away clients who use marijuana and express no desire to quit? It appears to be a prevalent practice, and I would appreciate your insights on this matter. Casey Zeigler Matt: Great Question, Casey! For me it depends on the pattern of usage and reasons for using Marijuana. For example, if someone gets anxious and then uses marijuana to reduce their anxiety, then I'd be unable to help them treat their anxiety if they weren't willing to set marijuana aside, for a while, to practice some new methods. I might ask, 'imagine you could feel calm and relaxed, but didn't need marijuana to accomplish this. What would it be worth to you, to have that ability? For example, would you be willing to go through an uncomfortable period of deprivation and awkwardly failing at methods to reduce your anxiety, in order to get there?" David: in a Harvard study years ago, individuals with benzo addictions were randomly assigned to two withdrawal groups: Klonopin-only slow withdrawal, and Klonopin slow withdrawal plus group (I think) CBT. The success in terms of numbers of patients who successfully withdrew was far greater in the CBT group. Or, if they used Marijuana to avoid feeling depressed, I'd wonder if they would be willing to set that aside temporarily, in order to prove that they could feel great without Marijuana. My approach is to identify what the patient wants and to be realistic about the approach to achieve those results. There's also long-term data showing that daily use of marijuana is associated with worse mental health, in the long-term. David: I think these decisions have to be individualized, and consultation with a colleague when in doubt can be very helpful.2. I have a question about anger. How do you help clients control their anger? 2. How do you help clients control their anger? I was going to mention it to you as a good topic to cover anyway in a podcast, because it is the one emotion that has not particularly been dealt with in the podcast. This is ironic, since anger is apparently the one emotion we don't acknowledge!). I did a search and there were only two that touched on it and neither covered how someone can learn to control their anger. I have had several clients who talk of how they snap at their children or partners and want to learn to deal with it. Does it work to use a daily mood log in these cases, as the emotions are more like explosive reactions, and maybe less easy to defeat with distortion-free positive thoughts? Thanks Andy Perrson Matt: Thanks, Andy! I can help people overcome anger, but they probably don't want the type of help I can offer! David: individuals beta testing the Feeling Good app have shown dramatic and rapid anger reductions. In a group or individual therapy context, I would use TEAM systematically. I do not typically “throw methods” at feelings, problems, diagnoses, etc. I treat humans, finding out what’s going on in their lives, conceptualizing the problem, melting away resistance, and choosing methods based on all of that. All that being said, the CBA or Paradoxical CBA are almost always the first techniques with anyone who is angry: vignette about the angry doctor and the angry banker. 3. Do you have any tips to use TEAM skills for very short time session(about 15 to 20 minutes). I am not yet running my private practice. I am employed in other person's private clinic as a psychiatrist and usually prescribe pills and the ...

  • 351: Free Master Class on Perfectionism, Part 2 of 2
    Jul 3 2023
    A Second Visit to David and Jill's Tuesday TEAM Training Group at Stanford

    Last week, you “sat in” on our Tuesday training group at Stanford and learned about two of the four most important techniques in the treatment of perfectionism, or any other Self-Defeating Belief. (For a list of 23 common Self-Defeating Beliefs, click here.)

    • The Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA): You weight the advantages against the disadvantages of trying to be perfect.

    • The Semantic Technique, to find out how to word your new belief if you decide that your perfectionism belief isn’t working for you

    The purpose of those two techniques is to provide intellectual change. Tonight, you will join us again as we aim for emotional change at the gut level.

    This will be our agenda for the students in the class you will observe:

    1. Please describe an example of a specific time when you felt upset due to perfectionism. What were your negative thoughts? How were you feeling? What was happening?

    2. Downward Arrow Technique: Suppose you weren’t perfect, or you failed or screwed up in some way. Why would that be upsetting to you? What would that mean to you.

    3. Externalization of Voices (Optional: possibly we will do this, maybe just mention it, depending on time.)

    4. Experimental Technique / Examine the Evidence

    5. Feared Fantasy

    6. Wrap-up and Teaching Points

    As you can see, some exercises will be performed in the large group, with everyone present and contributing, and some exercises will be in the small, breakout groups. The small groups provide more time for participants to practice. We plan on recording both of the small groups so you can observe the training techniques we use for mental health professionals.

    Last week our focus was motivational, so we asked: is to your advantage to aim for perfection? How will this mind set help you and how will it hurt you?

    Tonight, one of the key techniques will focus on TRUTH: is it TRUE that you need to aim for perfection? We will be using the Experimental Technique and / or Examine the Evidence to see if we can answer this question.

    In addition, we will go into an Alice-in-Wonderland Nightmare World and meet an imaginary monster who claims superiority because she or he really is perfect and really has achieved incredibly more than anyone. This can sometimes help us answer two questions: Is it possible to be or become a “more worthwhile” or “superior” human being? Would it be desirable if you could?

    I hope you enjoyed this new format of “dropping in” on my Tuesday training group at Stanford. Let Rhonda and me know what you think. It was just an experiment, and we want to know what you might have liked or disliked about it. Thanks!

    Our free weekly Tuesday and Wednesday training groups are open to therapists of all persuasions from all around the world. For information including the requirements, you can contact:
