On David's research & writing

"Zulberg has now expanded his research to include classic and contemporary sources on behavior modification, a technique that can be both psychotherapeutic as well as personally pragmatic. His work is a welcome source of guidance for both the professional and the layperson."

Rabbi Dr. Abraham J. Twerski, MDFounder, Gateway Rehabilitation Center

Work with David

Work through your real loop — with David.

David works with a small number of private clients at a time. Not a theoretical example: your situation, your loop, your life.

The Walk
For
one loop that keeps firing — a relationship, a decision, a replay — and the books have not moved it.
What we do
your situation, walked with CRI 5 until you can walk it alone. Find the demand, meet the identity under it, return to what is yours.
How long
eight weeks, tapering — intensive at the start, weekly by the end, because the point is that you need it less.
You leave with
the walk in your own hands, and the pattern named.

Sessions: 50 minutes, virtual or in person. Three a week for two weeks, two a week for two weeks, then weekly.

The Room at the Top
For
leaders carrying weight that does not show.
What we do
the same method on the loops that run in a role — the decision that will not come, the person you cannot fire, the calm you are performing.
How long
eight weeks.
You leave with
a way to stand in the role without the role standing on you.

Sessions: 60 minutes, two a month.

Workshops and Teams
For
a team, an event, a group that wants the map in a morning.
What we do
the Three Circles and the loop, taught live, with one real situation walked in the room.
How long
a half day or a day.
You leave with
a shared vocabulary for the thing everyone was already doing.
