Welcome to REBT 101
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, or REBT for short, is an effective, well proven strategy to manage many psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety but it is also an excellent tool for improving our understanding of why we feel and act the way we do. The purpose of this site, REBT 101, is to make the principles and strategies of REBT available to anyone who wants to learn about them and use them for personal growth.
Before we begin, just a couple of quick disclaimers about REBT 101: First, it is not meant to be a substitute for psychotherapy of any kind. It is helpful as a complement to therapy, and it can certainly help anyone learn to manage their psychological functioning more effectively, but it is not meant to diagnose or treat any psychological disorder. Specifically, if you are currently in a psychological crisis, this is not the place to resolve it. Instead, please refer to your local emergency services or call 911.
