🧠Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) REBT is a powerful form of psychotherapy designed to help you take control of your emotions, challenge negative thinking, and live a more fulfilling life. What is REBT? REBT, developed by Dr. Albert Ellis, is based on the idea that it’s not events themselves that upset us—but the beliefs we hold about those events. This therapy helps you identify irrational beliefs, dispute them, and replace them with healthier, more rational thoughts. The ABC Model At the heart of REBT is the ABC Model: A – Activating Event: Something happens (e.g., a breakup, a bad grade, criticism). B – Belief: You form a belief about the event (e.g., “I’m a failure.”). C – Consequence: That belief affects how you feel and act (e.g., sadness, anger, anxiety). We work together to challenge the B and create better emotional Cs. How Can REBT Help You?
