Judge behavior, not self

Posted by Rex Alexander on Fri 14 Nov 25 in Acceptance, ePrime, Guilt & Shame, judgment, Rating, Self esteem, self vs. behavior, ULA, UOA, USA with Comments closed | ∞

The long and the short of it is, however, that REBT-CBT–as do some other modern psychological approaches and schools of psychology–encourages people to distinguish between self and behavior, and to recognize judgments or global ratings as irrational and unhelpful, and to instead practice Unconditional Self Acceptance (USA), Unconditional Other Acceptance (UOA) and Unconditional Life Acceptance (ULA) . . .

Video : Albert Ellis’ Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)- Daniel Man of Reason

Posted by Rex Alexander on Wed 12 Nov 25 in Basics, Books & Media, Demanding, musty thinking with Comments closed | ∞

	I would like to share an excellent video by Daniel Phillip. Dan’s short presentation impressed me because it offers a clear and “user-friendly” introduction to REBT, and provides some insight into REBT’s emphasis on “musty” thinking and “awfulizing.” I would like to see many more voices explaining and expanding on REBT-CBT.

Internet addiction?

Posted by Rex Alexander on Wed 12 Nov 25 in Addictions, Alcoholism, Compulsions, Demanding, People Rating, Procrastination, Success & Achievement, Time management with Comments closed | ∞

A reader shares that on occasion they find a new and interesting venue on the internet and end up using it compulsively, wasting a lot of time, and then feeling disgusted with themselves. They believe that if they make a decision to get involved with an internet venue, they can just make a decision to stop the behavior. [Use of “they” deliberate]

Good question!

Distorted thinking is at the root of “neurosis”

Posted by Rex Alexander on Tue 11 Nov 25 in Albert Ellis, Emotions, Self esteem, self vs. behavior, What is REBT - CBT?, Your Opinion Matters with Comments closed | ∞

Distorted thinking results in distorted “self image,” disturbed emoting, unrewarding behavior.

“Much of what we call emotion is nothing more or less than a certain kind – a biased, prejudiced, or strongly evaluative kind – of thought.”

~Albert Ellis, Rational Psychotherapy and Individual Psychology

Negative thinking patterns

Posted by Rex Alexander on Sun 9 Nov 25 in David Burns, Depression, Ten Cognitive Distortions with Comments closed | ∞

Negative thinking patterns can be immensely deceptive and persuasive, and change is rarely easy. But with patience and persistence, I believe that nearly all individuals suffering from depression can improve and experience a sense of joy and self-esteem once again.”
