“Secondary disturbance” is not secondary in signifance.
We have been having some great discussions lately over at the REBT-CBT Forum Yahoogroup. Thm raised an honest and important question and was kind enough to allow me to re-post it here. Thanks, Thm! His question and my response follows. Your follow-up comments and questions are encouraged and welcomed.

Cognitive Distancing in Stoicism

Stoic philosophy is among the many influences Dr. Ellis drew upon in developing REBT. However, there is a conundrum or a seeming conundrum between REBT’s emphasis on “disputing” and the stoic preference for “distancing.” In this sense, stoic philosophy may have more in common with third wave behavior therapies (ACT, et al) it does to REBT.
Donald Robertson is a CBT therapist, philosopher, stoic, teacher, author and purveyor of the excellent website/blog http://donaldrobertson.name/
Don elegantly tackles this conundrum and looks at the relationship between the cognitive therapies, third wave behavior therapies and stoic philosophy in a wonderful, in-depth article: Cognitive Distancing in Stoicism “Distancing” versus “Disputation” as the central process of Stoic psychotherapy.
Have a looksee and tell us what you think.

What is the purpose of life?
We have been having a great time with our friends over at the REBT-CBT Forum discussing the timeless question, What is the Purpose of Life? Actually, REBT has quite a bit to say about this, but I fear that what it has to say is not very satisfying to those who raise the question!
