CERTIFICATE IN COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY / RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY (CBT/REBT)

SYNOPSIS
Albert Ellis developed Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy(REBT), a brief, direct, and solution-oriented therapy which focuses on resolving specific problems facing a troubled individual.
REBT is the first form of Cognitive Behavior Therapy first set forth by Ellis in 1953. Fundamental to REBT is the concept that our emotions result solely from our beliefs, not by the events that occur in our lives.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance for our beliefs to be healthy and rational, because the consequences of these beliefs will be emotional growth and happiness. If our beliefs are irrational and self defeating, our emotional life suffers from neuroses such as self-blame, depression, and anxiety.
Participants will learn the skills of teaching the client how to identify irrational beliefs, dispute them, and replace them with rational ones. Once the client is equipped with healthy beliefs, emotional difficulties and problematic behaviors are abated. Hence, clients will learn to control stress, relieve anxiety, help overcome depression, manage anger, and control emotional upsets.
