Albert Ellis, in his Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), identified a number of cognitive fallacies that people often hold. His work is a major component of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which is the leading counseling theory in practice today.
.The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny
Self-esteem is the greatest sickness known to man or woman because it's conditional.
There are three musts that
hold us back: I must do well. You must treat me well. And the world must be
easy.
I hope to die in the
saddle seat.
All human wisdom is
summed up in two words; wait and hope. Alexandre Dumas

Explanations > Beliefs > Ellis' Irrational Beliefs
Albert Ellis, in his Rational Emotive Behavior
Therapy (REBT), identified a number of dysfunctional beliefs that people
often hold. Irrational
beliefs
Here are irrational beliefs that Ellis described: · It
is a dire necessity for adult humans to be loved or approved by virtually
every significant other person in their community. · One
absolutely must be competent, adequate and achieving in all important
respects or else one is an inadequate, worthless person. · People
absolutely must act considerately and fairly and they are damnable villains
if they do not. They are their bad acts. · It
is awful and terrible when things are not the way one would very much like
them to be. · Emotional
disturbance is mainly externally caused and people have little or no ability
to increase or decrease their dysfunctional feelings and behaviors. · If
something is or may be dangerous or fearsome, then one should be constantly
and excessively concerned about it and should keep dwelling on the
possibility of it occurring. · One
cannot and must not face life's responsibilities and difficulties and it is
easier to avoid them. · One
must be quite dependent on others and need them and you cannot mainly run
one's own life. · One's
past history is an all-important determiner of one's present behavior and
because something once strongly affected one's life, it should indefinitely
have a similar effect. · Other
people's disturbances are horrible and one must feel upset about them. · There
is invariably a right, precise and perfect solution to human problems and it
is awful if this perfect solution is not found. |
