No one started gambling or using mind-altering substances with the idea of becoming addicted. At first it was fun and provided a way to escape the pains and drudgeries of life. Soon, gambling, drugs and alcohol were easy solutions to one’s problems: Fear, abandonment issues, domestic violence, low self-esteem, low self-worth, anger, anxiety, depression, codependency . . . and more. The sad truth is that all addictions ruins lives and families. However, . . . one does not have to let addiction control one’s life. There is a healthier solution.

Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists

What should I expect from rational emotive behavior therapy?

The therapist will work with the individual to recognize rigid thought patterns that sabotage goals and set them back. The objective is to identify, challenge and reframe negative thoughts and enable an individual to understand that they possess control over their emotions and their behavior. This therapy often emphasizes the use of reasoning and self-direction.

Is rational emotive behavior therapy effective?

Rational emotive behavior therapy is evidence-based and is highly effective. It helps a person reframe self-defeating or catastrophizing thoughts and gives them tools to approach a range of circumstances they may encounter post-therapy as well. REBT can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.

When do I know if I need treatment with rational emotive behavior therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with rigid, unreasonable thoughts that dwell in negativity, they may feel stuck. A rational emotive behavior therapist can help a person examine and change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior. This concise and concrete therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

How long does rational emotive behavior therapy last?

REBT therapy treatment is short-term and focused in nature. It can last for a set number of sessions, ending within a few weeks or months. Like any type of therapy, however, sessions depend on the individual, as well as the severity of their condition or problem. The individual may wish to ask the therapist about typical progress and how long they expect treatment to take.
