Rational Emotive Therapy

rational emotive therapy
The three aspects of human functioning major psychological thoughts, feelings and behaviors. These three aspects are interrelated, so that changes in one cause changes in another. If people change the way we think about things, the world or themselves, feel differently and behave differently.

For example, if after a failure on a task, think “I’m useless that does nothing well, not even worth trying,” your emotions and your behavior will be very different if you think, “Well, I failed this, but that does not make me useless, just a human being who makes mistakes like everyone else, see what I can do to fix it. ” In the first case, it is not surprising that feelings of depression appear and that your behavior is abandoned, while in the second case, some may worry or sadness, but these emotions are not intense enough to prevent you and disabling fix the problem, go ahead and learn how to do better next time.

Rational emotive therapy is, therefore, the causes of human emotions.

The principles of rational emotive therapy

1. Thought is the primary determinant of human emotions. Events or other people, although they can contribute, do not make us feel bad or good, but we do ourselves in terms of how we interpret events and things that go through your mind.

2. Dysfunctional thinking is a major cause of distress. That is, if one morning to go to work, you find that your car has a flat tire, you feel angry depends on (thinking how unfair it is, bad luck you have, etc..) Or anxious (thinking that you are late, your boss is angry, think to say goodbye …) or just upset (thinking “what are you going to do, I’ll have to change the wheel and face the consequences as best you can”).

Similarly, if, before the existence of any emotional problems like anxiety, agoraphobia, marital problems, etc. We analyze what happens in the mind of that person at all times, we will see what you tell yourself is causing you to feel one way or another while maintaining their psychopathology.
