Why We Think, Feel & Act How We Do10:42
In this lecture we will go over the psychology of why we think, feel, and act the way we do. The better we can understand our why the easier it will be to create lasting change.
We ALL Think Irrationally, Including YOU!6:52
Reality is that we are all irrational at times. Therefore understanding what irrational thoughts are can help us be aware so when they do occur we can better deal with them or eliminate them with time.
RATIONAL: Irrational vs Rational Beliefs7:00
In this lecture we will dive into irrational vs rational beliefs. The differentiation may seem like common sense from the outside until we deep dive and realize that many of the beliefs that we may hold may actually be irrational thoughts that we have come to assume that they are factual.
EMOTIVE: Unhealthy vs Healthy Negative Emotions6:02
In this lecture we will go over the difference between Unhealthy vs Healthy Negative Emotions. Many people try to avoid or suppress any negative emotions without realizing that negative emotions are there for a reason and they can help us in our life. However, we must first be able to differentiate what the healthy and healthy negative emotions are so that we do not hold on to the ones that are actually harming our life.
BEHAVIORAL: Unconstructive vs Constructive Behavior7:36
In this lecture we will help you develop an understanding into differentiating nonconstructive vs constructive behaviors and the impact that they have in our life.

3 Levels of Thinking3:32

It is human nature to seek approval of others even when it is detrimental to our dreams and our goals. In this lecture we will go over how to banish approval seeking behavior.

The Power of Perspective8:32
In this lecture we will go over assessing experience and determining whether something is factual or if we are creating a false story due to our perception.
Reframing Negative Situations7:01
It is not the situation that determines your reaction, it is what you THINK about the situation. Every negative situation in life has a silver lining--but even more importantly, if you find a different way of looking at the situation you change how you feel about the situation.
Positive Thinking and Affirmations5:03
Learn how to reprogram your negative thoughts and replace them with empowering ones, using affirmations.

Changing Your Evaluative Thinking2:09
The meaning that we give any experience in our life impacts every aspect of our life. Therefore, our ability to accurately evaluate any experience is critical to our well being. In this lecture we will go over evaluating and the impact of the meaning that we give an experience.
Turning Demands into Preferences3:38
We all live by demands that we create about ourselves, others, and the world. This demands can be very self limiting and unless we can re-frame them and change them it will be difficult to create change in our life. In this lecture we will go over on how to re-frame them from a demand to a preference.
Embracing Uncertainty12:11
In this lecture we will go over the power of embracing uncertainty and how to embrace it so that we can create true change.
Decatastrophizing (Overcome Worry)3:05

Changing Negative Beliefs into Positive Ones12:51
Everything you believe is because you have evidence that it is true. However, if you have beliefs that are holding you back, you can find evidence they are not true and then choose to believe something more empowering!

Identifying What You Really Want11:32

Description

Master Your Mindset with REBT!

Do you have goals and dreams but feel like there’s always an obstacle standing in your way?

Do you ever feel torn between doing what you really want and doing what you believe you “should” do?

Do you ever experience social anxiety or worrying about what others will think?

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with stress, worry, and fear of uncertainty?

Do you beat yourself up for your mistakes or flaws or suffer from feelings of guilt, shame, or unworthiness?

Are you tired of feeling unfulfilled and wish you were happier in your everyday life?

If you can relate to any of these things, you are not alone.

Nothing feels worst than not living up to your potential… especially if you want it deeply but it feel like life keeps getting in your way.

This course isn’t about how to force the world or other people to meet your needs and support your mission in life. That will never work. This course is about showing you how to TAKE BACK YOUR POWER and finally feel in control of your destiny!

The truth that you were probably never told is that you are the owner of the most powerful machine on the planet—the human mind—and that means you have a super power! You have the ability to feel happiness, no matter what is happening around you. You have the ability to learn and change ANYTHING you want about yourself. You have the ability to create the life you truly want, yes, even if right now it seems impossible.

You’ve just never been taught how to use this power!

This course is like a human mind owner’s manual!

It teaches you how your mind works, including the #1 most important thing you could ever understand about yourself, which is that your thoughts are what create your emotions.

That’s right, even thought it seems like the situations or people around you are causing you to feel a certain way, the truth is that it is what you THINK about it that causes your emotion.

Knowing this puts the power in your hands because through this course you can learn how to CHOOSE YOUR THOUGHTS, and by doing so you can control your emotions.

So, here’s the bad news… this superpower you have, this human mind, it’s flawed. Your thinking has the power to transform your life! But, without training, the human mind is extremely IRRATIONAL.

In our brain’s quest to interpret our world and keep us safe it misinterprets what’s happening, it makes false judgments, and it demands unreasonable things from ourselves, others, and life. Plus, after years of living around dysfunctional people we pick up their faulty belief systems.

And that’s why this course is so important! Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy is the foundation of modern psychology. The insights and techniques of REBT have unlocked human potential in the last century and are what ultimately differentiates those who are successful from those who are not.

REBT will teach you how to rewire those faulty belief systems and stop sabotaging yourself with irrational thinking. It won’t just teach you how to use positive thinking to feel better in the moment, it will teach you how to identify the root cause of your emotional pain and rip it out!

REBT will teach you how to avoid the ultimate form of failure, which is to achieve success in your life but still feel unfulfilled.

If you already enrolled in our popular CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) course, REBT is the foundation of CBT and digs even deeper into the root beliefs that are the problem! You’re going to LOVE this! In other word REBT takes what you may know about CBT to a whole new level.

Guarantee: We know you will love this course. However, we offer a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee if the course does not meet your needs for any reason.

So who are we?

We are Joeel & Natalie Rivera. We’ve been studying, mastering, and teaching about the power of the mind for almost 20 years. We’re entrepreneurs and coaches and we’ve worked with over 800,000+ students, coaches and businesses from 200 countries. Everything we have ever taught or created has had these principles a its core. Our courses are all based on our educational background in psychology and education, as well as my background as a psychology instructor, my Master’s in Counseling and my research on happiness for my dissertation for my PH.D. in Psychology.

The key to transforming your life is to unlock the power of your mind. We look forward to transforming with you in the course.
