  • When Life Hits Hard Book Club:


    "Heather has a knack for providing sincere empathy to the participants in their struggle, without blame, enabling us to open up to see blind spots. As a

    result of participating in Heather's 5 Secret's group, I use the 5 Secrets regularly, have closer relationships with loved ones, and have been able to

    navigate conflicts with a supervisor more constructively."

  • Mastering Your Adult ADHD, A Cognitive Behavioral Psychoeducational Program


    "Completing the Mastering ADHD program has been an incredibly positive and transformative experience for me. The practical strategies and insights

    I gained have had a lasting impact, especially the emphasis on using a calendar to stay organized. Even now, I continue to rely on the tips and tricks!

    learned, and writing things down has become a habit that has significantly improved my ability to manage my ADHD symptoms. The program's

    comprehensive approach to understanding ADHD, coupled with the supportive environment provided by instructors and fellow participants, has

    boosted my self-awareness, self-management skills, and overall confidence. I am grateful for the profound impact this program has had on me, and I

    highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of ADHD and learn practical strategies for managing it effectively."

    Feeling Great Book Club

    "Feeling bad and ruminating had seemed an inevitable part of life. Old issues no longer need linger now as The Feeling Great Book taught by Brandon and Heather (and related podcasts by D. Burns) has given me powerful methods to shed unhelpful thinking. I can spot a distortion and stop it in its

    tracks!"

  • Feeling Great Book Club


    "Joining this book club turned out to be a life-changing experience for me. I highly recommend it for anyone--and especially those who struggle with anxiety and depression. I am so grateful to Heather and Brandon for facilitating, and Dr. Burns for developing TEAM-CBT and creating resources like this book club to make education about it accessible. I had read many books and seen many therapists before joining the book club so felt skeptical at first if I would learn anything new or see much value, but am so glad I invested the time. I found that the results of TEAM-CBT are highly consistent, effective, and immediate. Over 1 year later I still use the tools I learned regularly. Learning how to use the daily mood journal gave me an amazing toolkit for slaying anxiety and depression again and again in my life...often in a matter of minutes with my relapse prevention journal! If it were up to me, Dr. Burns and all TEAM-CBT therapists would get a Nobel prize or something for their amazing contribution to humanity. Thank you again!"

  • For my 5 secrets groups:


    "I really enjoyed the class for several reasons. First, the group was very supportive, and you made everyone feel safe and welcome there. The real-life examples and the roll playing gave everyone a chance to practice on issues they were facing now. You gave real practical advice in a very empathic way, which also was a class on how to use empathy in communication! I think taking this class reinforces the teachings of the book in a way that just reading the book does not provide. Your modelling of body language and tone of voice, and real time feedback on our roll playing was very effective and instructional. Finally, seeing other people's issues and how you responded to them was also very helpful and educational."

  • 11 Weeks to Self Esteem program:


    "I learned to think before I react and I can only change the way I think/feel and not others thinking. I thought the class was excellent and well- organized as each week was a different area of focus. I believe that the class has already made a huge difference in changing my negative thoughts

    and overall self-esteem."

    "I feel better than I have for a long time! I credit this to the book club/course, taking amino acids and leaving a toxic relationship. I knew a lot of the principles and theory of CBT but without the support and the regular meetings I would not have gotten the practice in."

  • 11 Weeks to Self Esteem program:


    "Not only has my self-esteem increased but my life has changed. I cannot thank you enough for the time, consideration, and grace you have bestowed on us. This first course has been free which has been a significant benefit to us all as participants and the community of which we are part. Through this course I have learned to talk to myself as I would my best friend or a dear loved one which has made a real impact on my being kind, gentle and non-judgmental with myself. My life has been transformed and my feelings of depression and anxiety have reduced so much that they are at optimal levels now. I could never have expected or dreamed this could be possible in such a short space of time and it was only due to this valuable course and the practical tools and techniques that have made such a wonderful difference for me."
