Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)
Self-Esteem,Shame. Anger. Depression. Anxiety. Perfectionism.
These unhealthy feelings are often the result of unhealthy thought patterns and ultimately lead to self-defeating behaviors.
REBT helps clients learn and practice new ways of thinking,
feeling, and acting. Here's how it works:
THE ABC's of REBT
1. Describe the situation that is upsetting you. Include only facts.
2. Describe your opinion, judgment, and interpretation of the event.
What are you thinking when you are upset?
3. Describe your fallings. Pinpointing your feelings and exploring
them increase your self-awareness.
4. Dispute your thinking. Develop positive thoughts. Substitute
each thought in B with a more helpful thought. Turn "I should"
into "I prefer." Turn "it's awful" into "it's inconvenient."
5. Set reasonable, reachable goals. Take action.
