Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy: An acceptance-based counselling model

• REBT is an existential and humanistic CBT counselling model that helps clients develop three types of acceptance: unconditional self-acceptance, unconditional other-acceptance, and unconditional life-acceptance.  Acceptance means acknowledgement of reality: Acceptance that you are a fallible human being; Acceptance that others are also fallible human beings; Acceptance that life is imperfect.
• REBT helps people to overcome their emotional pain about the past, present or future so they can pursue their enlightened self-interest. Clients first develop intellectual insight (I get it, it makes sense) and then emotional insight (I now feel what I understand).
• REBT is client focused, collaborative and goal-oriented therapy. The therapist and the client work together as a team. REBT looks at the person as a whole rather than as a symptom and teaches a universal model that can be successfully applied to a wide range of different emotional issues. It offers clients a structure and philosophy that allows them to make effective and long lasting emotional and behavioural change.
• REBT philosophy can be integrated into your existing counselling model.  So if you are already accredited, you can use the Diploma in CBT/REBT as a CPD as well as combine REBT philosophy and protocols to your primary counselling model.
