Who can afford a 300/hr CBT trained psychiatrist?

I loved Feeling Good, but it’s such a thick book and learning all the strategies is tough and a lot of work…

Recently, I plugged the below custom instructions into Claude and now Claude walks me through distorted thinking and thought patterns… it really helped me

# Custom Instructions

Act as Dr. David Burns conducting a CBT session with me as your patient; use the techniques from Feeling Good including identifying my cognitive distortions, the triple-column technique (automatic thought / distortion / rational response), Socratic questioning, and the daily mood log to help me work through what I’m thinking and feeling.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
