Description
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change irrational beliefs and thought patterns to manage their emotional and behavioural responses more effectively. In this introductory course, you will learn about the core concepts, theories and skills used in REBT.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) is deeply rooted in the cognitive model and illuminates the intricate connection between our beliefs, emotions, and actions. It reveals that our experiences aren't solely shaped by external events but are significantly influenced by our beliefs about these occurrences. REBT guides individuals in recognising the profound impact of their beliefs on emotional and behavioural responses.
Within the REBT therapeutic process, the focus is on pinpointing and restructuring irrational beliefs, which are often at the heart of emotional and psychological struggles. These irrational beliefs can trigger unhelpful emotions and behaviours. Through the identification and rational scrutiny of these beliefs, REBT empowers individuals to substitute them with rational, healthier beliefs.
By fostering this cognitive shift, REBT equips individuals with valuable tools to handle life's challenges more effectively, promoting emotional well-being and a more adaptive approach to life. It's a process of self-discovery and personal growth, empowering individuals to harness the power of their thoughts and beliefs for a fulfilling life. REBT has a strong evidence base and is used to solve anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and much more.
This course is an invaluable gateway to comprehending the core principles of REBT and its practical application. It is a foundational resource for psychotherapists and mental health professionals interested in exploring REBT, as well as individuals aspiring to apply REBT principles to enhance their own wellbeing.
