The Four Thoughts That F *ck You Up (and how to fix them)
My first ever book, published by Penguin Random House in 2019, is all about rational emotive behaviour therapy/coaching (REBT/C) and how to use it. It includes a six week plan to help you manage a problem.
The ethos to REBT/C is that it is not the events in life that disturb you, but what you are telling yourself about those events that does the disturbing. There are caveats (of course there are!) but generally speaking, if you want to change how you react in the face of a challenge or adversity, you need to change the way you think about it.
This video is a presentation given during Mental Health Week 2020 for the Financial Times.
I've helped many people over the course of 20+ years using REBT/C methods. The first person I ever helped with it was me. And boy! Did it help.
Today i call it REBS (rational emotive behavioural system) because not only is it great in therapy and coaching, but it's also considered a philosophy for everyday life.
