Overview

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy designed to help people identify and challenge irrational beliefs, and learn to replace them with more rational ones. This type of therapy helps people recognize that their thoughts, rather than external events or people, can influence their emotions and behaviors. REBT therefore creates a healthier way of thinking that can lead to greater emotional stability and improved problem-solving skills. It is used to address a wide array of issues, such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and low self-esteem. By developing healthier patterns of thinking and behavior, REBT helps people to reduce emotional distress and lead healthier, more productive lives.
