General Semantics. If you are new to General Semantics (GS), you can save yourself from going down a rabbit hole by understanding that the word Generaldoesn’t communicate much here, and, more importantly, the word Semantics is very misleading . . .

Q: A reader asks: What does the theory of REBT say about the unconscious mind?
A: Good question! You cannot talk about the “unconscious” without talking a little about Sigmund Freud. Freud was the first to present the idea of the unconscious or subconscious . . .
This is more about rational thinking in the larger sense than REBT per se. It illustrates in the most scandalous and amazing way human beings profound tendency to think, emote and behave gullibly, credulously and superstitiously. As Dr. Ellis ‘demurely’ said, “Humans are out of their fucking minds!”
