Cognitive Coping Statements in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)

One of the tools I have successfully used when helping teams and individuals become aware and improve their mindsets is Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), developed by Dr. Albert Ellis, which encourages individuals to restructure irrational beliefs into rational ones. Dr. Albert Ellis – Image from Wikipedia This approach excels at helping build emotional resilience and mental well-being.…

#pureo compulsion example as identified by Robert Bray, MD:

dissecting a past situation seen as unfavourable to catch patterns from multiple angles in order to ensure it won’t happen again. *to be differentiated from learning from past happenings in retrospect. a compulsion distinguishes itself through over-fixation as well as rooted core-fear.

my experience with this:

i dissected a particular mess i got myself into from hundreds of angles almost daily after i got myself out of it. i thought that if i dissected it hard enough, i could catch all of the giveaway signs and would ensure that i would never, ever put myself in that dynamic again – and protect myself. not only was it stressful to follow this thread, but it only stuck me into dead ends and loops of thinking which morphed into other loops of thinking.

breaking down the compulsion:

what is the rooted core-fear? that i will be in pain again.

what is the irrational belief behind this compulsion? that there can ever be a certainty.

disputing through REBT: there is no certainty that any situation would repeat itself with the same patterns and giveaway signs. life is too complex. yes, i might get hurt again. yes, i might end up in that dynamic again. yes, i might have to pull myself out of that dynamic again. it might not be pleasant.

i accept the uncertainty of that and the possibility (probability) of pain.

I was compelled to record a video about Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), founded by Albert Ellis, a theoretical therapeutic modality that strikes me as a no-nonsense modality. More narrowly, I am talking about extreme radical beliefs and ideas that we might have about the world, others, and ourselves. The radical beliefs have a capacity to determine our experiences and the ways in which we feel about our experiences. Some of these radical ideas Albert Ellis formulated were sudden to me when I first read them because there is nothing particularly unreasonable about those beliefs, it could appear. For example, "the world should treat me fairly"—why is this a radical belief? Of course, as a society, we want to treat each other, and everybody, fairly. Nevertheless, if we have a collection of irrational "shoulds" and "musts," and the world does not live up to these "shoulds" and "musts," we are going to suffer and be distressed.

We hold extreme radical ideas not only about the world but about ourselves as well. For example, "I am not good at something (public speaking/math/relationships) is a radical idea about your own identity derived from a set of experiences, whereas a more modest belief built on the same experiences could be, "with enough preparation, I could prepare and deliver a reasonably compelling presentation." We will have trouble if we are going to tell ourselves the story "I am a great public speaker" when experiences do not support this idea, but we can certainly believe a story about ourselves that is less radical and extreme than "I am not good at public speaking."

It could be a challenge to identify the limiting beliefs and the stories about selves and the world that we are telling to ourselves. One way to identify extreme beliefs is journaling and analyzing what is written from the point of view of identifying these radical and extreme ideas. Once the beliefs are identified, they can be modified through disputing and confronting evidence. Almost any radical belief about the world and self could be modified and changed into something more palatable, which will bring more comfort to self and serve to the purpose of enjoying a greater harmony with the world and others.

P.S. Albert Ellis also said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I read this principle in a way that we should not assume that we need to change at all. "You are perfect the way you are, my little flower," as a tiger in a children's book was saying to a flower. Modifying profound beliefs about self and the world in one's life is not a one-occasion bolt-of-lightning occurrence. Probably more often than not, modifying extreme ideas occurs as a result of an incremental change.

hip holding > waist holding two gentle hands placed on your hips, fingertips digging ever so slightly into the fat that they could squish for hours if you'd let them. your hips are their favorite part of your body, littering them with bruises and love bites at any given moment. on their knees, looking up at you, two hands firmly griping each hip, placing a soft kiss to the bone with a smile.

waist holding > hip holding their hands fit perfectly in the curve of your waist, almost like your waist was made for them to grab and use to their advantage. they pull you close by your waist, fingers showing no signs of letting go any time soon. using their strength to manhandle you in any way they possibly could, squeezing your waist to show you who's boss with a look that's sure to kill.

the formula of REBT, coined by Dr. Albert Ellis in the 1950s, is based on the work of ancient philosophers such as Marcus Aurelius. (sidenote, i'm just getting into Marcus Aurelius, and, ah, his words are gems!). i discovered it through the recommendation of OCD expert Robert Bray. out of all techniques of rewiring cognitive patterns i've used, it has proved most efficient in deconstructing pure o so far!

known as the A-B-C-D-E-F model, its premise is: most of the distress we experience is unnecessary suffering which arises from holding onto irrational beliefs. (i think this differentiates REBT from other action-orientated techniques of therapy, as it doesn't promise to end suffering, but to instead dilute unnecessary suffering). it provides you this model to identify the irrational belief, dispute it, replace it & process.

let's take an example in which i applied REBT!

situation: i want to have an experience by attending a specific event.

adversity: a thought arises; i want it, but what if i am not good enough for it?

belief: if i have this thought, there must be some truth to it. perhaps * i * should not go for it and protect myself from the possibility of rejection.

consequence: my chest contracts, i experience distress & there is the possibility of not going for what i want.

disputation: both the thought of not being good enough and the judgment of the thought as particularly meaningful are irrational beliefs. being "good enough" is a volatile concept which only exists in an even more volatile & subjective scale of comparison that cannot be quantified in reality. a thought is a cognitive process which arises from conditioning and from what we consume and have consumed on a daily basis over years with a degree of randomness; a thought is not a fact which has any inherent meaning other than that which i assign to it. if i have to label or judge my thoughts, per Ellis, it would be more rational to judge them as "effective" or "ineffective" (to one's goal - more on this later).

effective new belief: thoughts and doubt have arisen and i can choose to remain undisturbed by either.

new feelings: relief. self-assurance. there is nothing wrong.
