CBT

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s. It’s grounded in the belief that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that by identifying and changing irrational beliefs, individuals can experience emotional well-being and personal growth. REBT is based on the ABC model, which stands for Activating event, Beliefs, and Consequences.
REBT services typically involve a structured approach to therapy aimed at helping individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Here’s a breakdown of what REBT services may entail:

  1. Assessment: The therapy process often begins with an assessment of the individual’s beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. This helps the therapist understand the client’s specific challenges and goals.

  2. Identifying irrational beliefs: In REBT, much emphasis is placed on identifying irrational beliefs that contribute to emotional distress. These beliefs often take the form of “should” or “must” statements, unrealistic expectations, or black-and-white thinking.

  3. Challenging irrational beliefs: Once irrational beliefs are identified, the therapist helps the individual challenge and dispute these beliefs. This may involve questioning the evidence supporting the belief, exploring alternative perspectives, and considering the consequences of holding onto these beliefs.

  4. Cognitive restructuring: REBT aims to replace irrational beliefs with rational ones through cognitive restructuring techniques. This involves actively changing the way individuals think about themselves, others, and the world around them.

  5. Skill-building: REBT services may include teaching individuals practical skills and strategies for managing their emotions and behaviors. This can include techniques such as mindfulness, assertiveness training, and problem-solving skills.

  6. Homework assignments: Clients often receive homework assignments to practice the skills learned in therapy sessions. These assignments help reinforce new ways of thinking and behaving outside of the therapy room.

  7. Follow-up and support: REBT therapists typically provide ongoing support and guidance to clients as they work towards their therapeutic goals. This may involve regular check-ins, reassessment of progress, and adjustments to treatment as needed.
