I NEED love! (not!)

Posted by Rex Alexander on Tue 17 Feb 26 in Albert Ellis, Dire need for love & approval with Comments closed |
People are often surprised that REBT considers “need” to be an irrational belief (IB) in-and-of-itself . . . except at the level of basic survival needs such as food and shelter, and I would speculate appropriate attachment between mother and infant.

Don’t Let ’em See You Sweat!

This from an old friend from the REBT-CBT-FORUM@yahoogroups.com whom we have not heard from for a long time.  This person has been struggling with anxiety and although works diligently applying REBT-CBT techniques, does not appear to be getting much traction. Although I am not psychic, I think I may have an idea as to why.

Will Unconditional Self Acceptance make me lose my edge?

Posted by Rex Alexander on Thu 12 Feb 26 in Acceptance, Ask Rex, Perfectionism, Self esteem, self vs. behavior, Success & Achievement, Task Perfection vs. Self Perfection, USA with Comments closed |

 

 

Sean B. in Florida  asks  Rex.  I think I understand the idea of unconditional self acceptance, in theory at least. But I am afraid that adopting it will cause me to lose my edge and stop striving for excellence in my career.  If I accept myself unconditionally, then do I have to accept it if I do a crappy job on an important project?”

Hi Sean. Good question!
