Rational emotive behavior therapy

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type of therapy that helps you understand why you think and behave the way you do. It teaches you how to change your thoughts and behaviors so that you can become happier and more in control of your life. REBT teaches you how to think about yourself, your relationships, and the world in more helpful and realistic ways. This type of therapy focuses on helping you identify how your irrational beliefs (believing things that aren’t true) are contributing to how you feel and your behavior. With REBT, you and your therapist will work together to find ways to replace the irrational beliefs with more helpful and rational ones. By doing this, you will feel better and be more in control of your emotions and behavior.
