440: David Answers Personal Questions

Getting to Know David! We all know David Burns as the creator of TEAM-CBT, but not many people get to know David, the person. It is fun to know David the person, because he is just like all of us. He is a real person (not a robot), full of life and love. Thanks so much to Stan Dickens, TEAM UK, for submitting these questions and sparking this discussion. The complete list of questions was much longer, but Rhonda selected the ones listed below. The questions are not necessarily in the order listed below, but all are answered on this podcast. David’s answers are all 100% spontaneous, and you will hear them on the podcast. *Please note: Towards the end, David's microphone gets a little crackly. Apologies!* Music & Entertainment 1.
