How to Learn REBT
Perhapos it is just a teeny bit immodest of me to title this page "How to Learn REBT-CBT" as if starting from a zero baseline, you will be able to practice REBT-CBT just by reading these few pages. Live workshops and face-to-face therapy/coaching/training are of course the best ways to learn, however lots of people, including yours truly, can do very well and go a very long way startng with "A Guide to Rational Living" or "How to Stubbornly Refuse . . . " both by Dr. Ellis or "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr. Burns. or "Three Minute Therapy" by Dr. Edelstein. Reading "What is REBT" by my friend Will Ross on this blog http://rebtinfo.info/what-is-rebt/ is another excellent starting place.

Disputing Overgeneralizations
A new reader asks how to dispute an "overgeneralization"
Hi Newbie,
Welcome!
I often use "overgeneralization" in a loose way to mean exaggeration. However, if you are using the term in the way that Burns coined it,
OVERGENERALIZATION: You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat. You arbitrarily conclude that one thing that happened to you once will occur over and over again. For example, if you get passed over for promotion on the job, you might erroneously conclude: "I'll never get the promotion!"

How much stimulation is enough?
Disney is putting virtual reality on it’s new roller-coaster to enhance the experience. My gawd! Isn’t the reality of the roller coaster experience stimulation enough already???
Do you feel panicky or dull when you do not get your usual dose of stimulation? Me thinks we are all becoming just a little bit “faux-ADHD” in the modern, digital world.
Do you find roller coasters and “thrill rides” to be stimulating and exciting or frightening and enervating? Click the link below to share your comments.

Hey Rex,

We miss Robin Williams
On 11 August 2014, we were all saddened and shocked to learn of the suicide of the national treasure, Robin Williams, particulary I think members of my generation. Robin was a year younger than me, and could have continued to make people laugh for perhaps another 20 years or more.

Social phobia since adolescence
Q: This person shares about suffering from social phobia since adolescence, particularly meeting members of the opposite sex. While getting more benefit from “shame attacking exercises” than written cognitive exercises, does not have the courage to continue doing them.
A: May I just add–at the risk of sound as though I am picking nits–that the fear is not really the fear of people or of how other people behave toward you.

Website review: ABC Counselling
Fri 14 Jun 2013, 6:11 pm
Good evening All,
It occurs to me that reviews of websites fit nicely into this category of book and media reviews. I just became aware of Jim Byrne's ABC-Counseling,
http://www.abc-counselling.com/ as a result of the discussion of his article Dr. Ellis, a wounded psychotherapist
Dr Jim Byrne, was originally very influenced by the thinking and theories of Dr Albert Ellis, sets out to explore the childhood of Albert Ellis, to see how this skewed the development of Ellis's notion of rationality, and his resistance to the idea of human emotional needs.which
which we present and discuss in a post elsewhere on this blog, which you can read here
After that long-winded introduction let me say that
