“Sensitive Souls”
and Managing Painful Emotions.

If you are a “sensitive soul,” depending upon your resources and circumstances, you may be faced with the dilemma of building, and then closing yourself in a walled, perfumed garden so that all the suffering, tragedy and injustice in the world cannot get to you. Or, on the other hand, operate as a “bleeding heart,” and possibly become depressed, immobilized, bitter and resentful, or otherwise find it difficult to function and enjoying life.

How do we know whether our values are right or wrong?

We have been having a fascinating discussion at the REBT-CBT Yahoogroup about REBT and values. A member points out that everyone has a collection of values; things and qualities which are important to them., and asks what REBT says about values and–more interesting–how do we know whether our values are right or wrong?

One of our important goals in developing the REBT Info website has been to build a permanent archive of REBT-CBT and related content available to professionals, students, fans and “civilians” alike. To realize this and to make it practical we, of course, have to have an excellent search facility to allow users quickly find the posts, articles and content they are looking for.

Voila! We have such a facility and invite our REBT Mates to make liberal use of it. You will find it on the right-hand side bar near the top. Search for people, books, articles, titles, subjects, anything. No special training to operate it is required!

Even though I don’t I don’t think I’ll convert the world to rationality, I may influence an occasional person here and there. And every small addition to the sum total of rationality is precious. ~Isaac Asimov -1988″

Whine! Whine! Whine!

Dr. Ellis loved making fun of his and our distorted thinking and

irrational behavior with humorous rational songs, and limericks. Humor is, of course, fun, but also very powerful in helping us break the bonds of our irrational thinking. Here is a special video by Dr. Ellis singing his famous “Whine! Whine! Whine!” song about demanding and “musty” thinking.

Are you “rational”?

Posted by Rex Alexander on Sat 18 Oct 25 in Basics, Happiness, Rational living, Rational Thinking with Comments closed | ∞

The word rational is obviously fundamental to REBT. After all, we are Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. However, I am afraid this is misleading to many as REBT uses the word in a special way . . .
