Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

REBT examines thought patterns and the relationship between thinking, feeling and behavior. The therapist helps our student identify negative self talk, negative beliefs and act against them. REBT is effective in working with adolescents with anxiety related disorders.

REBT (pronounced R.E.B.T. — it is not pronounced rebbit) is based on the premise that whenever we become upset, it is not the events taking place in our lives that upset us; it is the beliefs that we hold that cause us to become depressed, anxious, enraged, etc.

Clinical experience and a growing supply of experimental evidence show that REBT is effective and efficient at reducing emotional pain. When Albert Ellis created REBT in the 1950’s he met with much resistance from others in the mental health field. Today it is one of the most widely-practiced therapies throughout the world. In the early days of REBT, even Dr. Ellis did not clearly see that consistent use of its philosophical system would have such a profound effect on the field of psychotherapy or on the lives of the millions of people who have benefited from it.   (REBT network..)

We know that REBT along with the variety of therapies we offer can be beneficial to our students. Including those with anxiety, esteem, and other behavior issues.
