REBT - Three Basic Must



1. I must do well and win the approval of others or else I am no good.
This idea deals with your expectations from your own self.
This leads to strong feeling of depression, anxiety and overall worthlessness.
This person may look procrastinating or shy or unassertive or workaholic.

2.Other people must do the right thing or else they are no good and deserve to be punished.
This idea is similar to the 1st basic must, here you have direct these viewpoints towards other people instead of self.
This leads to anger, rage and bitterness.
This person may look aggressive or violent or ha may be bullying or nagging person.

3. Life must be easy, without discomfort or inconvenience.
I must get what I want, when I want and must not get what I don't want, its terrible if I don't get what I want and I can't stand it.
This leads to depression, self pity.
This person may look procrastinating may be taking alcohol or drugs.

Major Insights of REBT



Insight No. 1
Its not what happens to us alone that determines our feelings, it is our thinking, our belief about what happens which also contributes to our feelings.
This insight comes near to the quote of a great philosopher Epictetus that people are disturb not by events but by the views which they take from them.

Insight No. 2
Although our beliefs may have been form in the past we continue to re-indoctrinate  ourselves with them now in the present.

Insight No. 3
It is only through hard work and practice that we can overcome these self defeating belief and replace them with more self helping beliefs.

The first two are intellectual insight that person understands the cause of sufferings, but deep inside they still believe they are no good or world my treat them fairly.
Then comes the third emotional insight that only through had work and practice we can overcome these self defeating belief.

Ellis believes that when clients have achieved all three types of insight, elegant change takes place, client have thus made changes and know why they have made the changes.

CBT - REBT - Cognitive Distortions




Definitions of Cognitive Distortions

1.  ALL-OR-NOTHING THINKING:
You see things in black and white categories.  If your performance falls short of perfect, you see yourself as a total failure.

2.  OVERGENERALIZATION:
You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.

3.  MENTAL FILTER:
You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality become darkened, like the drop of ink that discolors the entire beaker of water.

4.  DISQUALIFYING THE POSITIVE:
You reject positive experiences by insisting they "don't count" for some reason or another.  In this way you can maintain a negative belief that is contradicted by your everyday experiences.

5.  JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS:
You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definite facts that convincingly support your conclusion.

     a.  Mind Reading:
You arbitrarily conclude that someone is reacting negatively to you, and you don't bother to check this out.

     b.  The Fortune Teller Error:
You anticipate that things will turn out badly, and you feel convinced that your prediction is an already established fact.

6.  MAGNIFICATION (CATASTROPHIZING) OR MINIMIZATION:
You exaggerate the importance of things (such as your goof-up or someone else's achievement) or you inappropriately shrink things until they appear tiny (your own desirable qualities or the other fellow's imperfections).  This is also called the "binocular trick."

7.  EMOTIONAL REASONING:
You assume that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are:  "I feel it, therefore it must be true."

8.  SHOULD STATEMENTS:
You try to motivate yourself with shoulds and shouldn'ts, as if you had to be whipped and punished before you could be expected to do anything.  "Musts" and "oughts" are also offenders.  The toward others, you feel anger, frustration, and resentment.

9.  LABELING AND MISLABELING:
This is an extreme form of over-generalization.  Instead of describing your error, you attach a negative label to yourself:  "I'm a loser."  When someone else's behavior rubs you the wrong way, you attach a negative label to him: "He's a goddam louse."  Mislabeling involves describing an event with language that is highly colored and emotionally loaded.

10. PERSONALIZATION:
You see yourself as the cause of some negative external event which in fact you were not primarily responsible for.

REBT - 12 Common Irrational Beliefs




The belief that it is easier to avoid than to face certain life difficulties and self-responsibilities.
Instead of the idea that the so-called easy way is usually much harder in the long run.

The belief that one should be dependent on others and needs someone stronger than oneself on whom to rely.
Instead of the idea that it is better to take the risks of thinking and acting less dependently.

The belief that one’s past history is an all-important determiner of one’s present behavior and that because something once strongly affected one’s life, it should indefinitely have a similar effect.
Instead of the idea that we can learn from our past experiences but not be overly-attached to
or prejudiced by them.

The belief that it is a dire necessity for an adult human being to be loved or approved by virtually every significant other person in his community
Instead of their concentrating on their own self-respect,on winning approval for practical
purposes, and on loving rather than on being loved.

The belief that one should be thoroughly competent, adequate, and achieving in all  possible respects if one is to consider oneself worthwhile.
Instead of the idea that we would better do rather than always need to do well, and accept
ourselves as quite imperfect creatures, who have general human limitations and specific
fallibility.

The belief that certain people are bad, wicked, or villainous and that they should be  severely blamed and punished for their villainy.
Instead of the idea that certain acts are self-defeating or antisocial, and that people who
perform such acts are behaving stupidly, ignorantly, or neurotically,and would be better
helped to change.  People's poor behaviors do not make them rotten individuals.

The belief that one should become quite upset over other people’s problems and disturbances.

---------------------------------

---------------------------------
The belief that there is invariably a right, precise, and perfect solution to human problems and that It is catastrophic if this perfect solution is not found.
Instead of the idea that the world is full of improbability and chance and that we can still
enjoy life despite this.

The belief that you can give people (including yourself) a global rating as a human and that their general worth depends upon the goodness of their performances

The belief that it is awful and catastrophic when things are not the way one would very much like them to be.
Instead of the idea that it is too bad, that we would better try to change or control bad
conditions so that they become more satisfactory,and, if that is not possible, we had better
temporarily accept and gracefully lump their existence.

The belief that human unhappiness is externally caused and that people have little or no ability to control their sorrows and disturbances.
Instead of the idea that neurosis is largely caused by the view that we take of unfortunate
conditions.

The belief that if something is or may be dangerous or fearsome one should be terribly concerned about it and should keep dwelling on the possibility of its occurring.
Instead of the idea that one would better frankly face it and render it non-dangerous and,
when that is not possible, accept the inevitable.
