Understanding Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a therapeutic approach that integrates ancient and modern philosophy to help individuals manage their emotions and lead a meaningful life. It emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one’s emotional reactions and teaches healthy attitudes that enable individuals to face life's challenges. Unlike some other therapeutic approaches, REBT starts from the premise that people can develop constructive responses to intensely negative situations without distorting their perceptions. This approach aims to foster emotional resilience and encourages individuals to adopt flexible attitudes toward hardships, helping them cope with reality more effectively.
