See REBT in action in an actual therapy session with a single mother struggling to effectively parent her teenage children.
Dr. Wolfe works to help Janice make the connection between her irrational beliefs ("they shouldn't treat me this way") and the emotional and behavioral consequences of those beliefs. Moving to a more rational belief system empowers Janice to sidestep the power struggle with her teenagers and parent more effectively.
Interspersed throughout this actual session is an informative discussion that elucidates Dr. Wolfe's rationale in utilizing classic REBT techniques.
Most people associate REBT with the confrontative and even cantankerous style of its founder, Albert Ellis. Dr. Wolfe shows how REBT principles can be practiced with a softer touch.
• Learn the ABC's of REBT practice: identifying activating events (A), working with beliefs (B) and making the connection to emotional and behavioral consequences (C).
• Gain insights into the use of REBT techniques and how to adapt them based on particular client needs.
• Deepen an understanding of how this action-oriented psychotherapy teaches individuals to replace self-defeating thoughts, beliefs and actions with those that are more productive.
REBT, like many approaches, is closely aligned and identified with its founder (In fact, given the unique personality of Albert Ellis, this is even more the case here!). By watching Janet Wolfe, you'll have the chance to see how REBT is practiced with a slightly softer touch.
