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.

It’s OK that you’re NOT OK
Author: Megan Devine
 
When a painful loss or life-shattering event upends your world, here is the first thing to know: there is nothing wrong with grief. "Grief is simply love in its most wild and painful form," says Megan Devine. "It is a natural and sane response to loss."
 
Why well-meaning advice, therapy, and spiritual wisdom so often end up making it harder for people in grief
• How challenging the myths of grief―doing away with stages, timetables, and unrealistic ideals about how grief should unfold―allows us to accept grief as a mystery to be honored instead of a problem to solve
• Practical guidance for managing stress, improving sleep, and decreasing anxiety without trying to "fix" your pain
• How to help the people you love―with essays to teach us the best skills, checklists, and suggestions for supporting and comforting others through the grieving process
