"Realize that you have power over mind - not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength."
- Marcus Aurelius
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a mode of psychotherapy that helps you identify self-defeating thoughts and feelings, challenge the rationality of those feelings, and replace them with healthier, more productive beliefs. REBT focuses mostly on the present time to help you understand how unhealthy thoughts and beliefs create emotional distress which, in turn, leads to unhealthy actions and behaviors that interfere with your current life goals.
Tenets of REBT hold that it is the manner in which we think about events that lead to emotional and behavioral upset. With an emphasis on the present, individuals receiving REBTare taught to examine and challenge their unhelpful thinking which creates unhealthy emotions and self-defeating/self-sabotaging behaviors.
REBT is a practical approach used to assist individuals in coping with and overcoming adversity as well as achieving goals. REBT addresses attitudes, maladaptive emotions (e.g., unhealthy anger, depression, anxiety, guilt, etc.) and maladaptive behaviors (e.g., procrastination, addictive behaviors, aggression, unhealthy eating, sleep disturbance, etc.) that can negatively impact life satisfaction. REBT practitioners work collaboratively with individuals seeking help to identify their set of beliefs (attitudes, expectations and personal rules) that frequently lead to emotional distress.
