REBT is by far my favorite. The logical progression makes this something that appeals to me. Thanks Dr. Grande, this was excellent.

I often have a hard time understanding REBT and differentiating between REBT and CBT, however this video cleared up a lot of my questions. I have a much better understanding of REBT after watching this video and have realized it is a style of therapy that I think I would most like to utilize as a counselor

I like REBT, it seems really straightforward, & the ABC model makes a lot of sense, & is a useful way to conceptualize how thoughts, context/situation, & outcomes can interact.

REBT's easily one of my favorite therapies because, like Dr. Grande mentions, it's so positive. There is not just a belief in the client, but also the belief that the client can believe in his or herself, which sets it apart from person-centered which is also accepting and positive. This video was mostly a refresher as I've taken the Theories class and focused some papers around REBT, so I did not get a lot of new information. Nevertheless, I can never hear enough about this therapy!

Thank you for posting this. I'm learning about rebt, and it's really helping me. And i can't help but like Albert Ellis. I like your short clear explanation of it. Again, many thanks. 👍

Dr. G! I’m going in for that CRC exam. I never realized how much of your early works were clinical videos. They are good study while driving materials Thank you.👍🏽

I like the way REBT is broken down in this video. One is able to understand the concepts of this form of therapy, how to use it, and the desired outcomes. A point that stands out for me is the high self-awareness of the counselor, who recognizes that they themselves are not perfect and must make adjustments in treatment.

REBT has always been a very straight-forward theory to me and this video has just reinforced that.

REBT's ABC model clearly lays out the various processes forming a cycle of behavioral issues. Thus, the antecedent, behavior and consequence. Through this cycle, we are able to see how beliefs are developed from experience and such beliefs leading to undesired outcomes.
I think REBT has some great techniques in treatment. The therapist's ability to employ techniques like disputing overgeneralization and irrational beliefs are wonderful. One of the things I have always believed in regards to clients is that, they are more stronger than what we physically perceive them to be and REBT shares the same view. This gives the therapist a responsibility to promote clients independence in therapy. I like the idea of helping client develop unconditional acceptance because that is key to a healing process.
I think assignment is a strong aspect and makes this theory more effective and easy to use. I will definitely use REBT.

I appreciate how Dr. Grande takes his time to educate about the different theories. Its one thing to read about it, but to hear him explain it in detail and provide examples makes it easier to understand. There are so many things that I like about REBT, especially the strong role of the therapists, being active and direct, and using various techniques to guide clients towards the desired outcomes. Dr. G also talked about the ever changing times, and how techniques such as shame attacking might have been useful during Ellis's time, but not useful in our current social media world.

Thank you for your videos!!! I'm taking theories right now and I find your videos extremely helpful! And I love the way you present the material: it's good to have a well-structured presentation and your explanation at the same time. Thank you again!

I like how the techniques were explained in more detail. I believe that REBT would help a lot of clients that have irrational thoughts. I really like the positive model and letting the client know that their past doesn't define the future.

This video clearly explained REBT and I liked how each technique was discussed in detail. I think many clients could benefit from this therapy, and especially like that it is positive.

I like the appoint about how alot of times irrational thinking associated with "shoulds, musts, and demands" arises from healthy/positive goals and values and then the client begins to think in an absolute or more rigid manner. Using this explanation, its easy to see how it can be a slippery slope from something that began as rational and positive and then became engrained overtime. Another point i liked in this video is talking about healthy and non healthy resistance to change and that it is natural for people to resist change. This is a different outlook than in different models view of resistance to change. I also like the practicality of this model and the ways it can help people through practice and homework and reasonable steps toward change.

I like the premise of REBT that the future for the client is not determined by their past. This is important to reiterate to clients throughout their therapy.

This gave me a clear view of REBT, thanks.

As I stated in the previous video, I enjoy REBT as much as I do CBT. This video was very informative on the specific techniques associated with REBT and the ABC model. I also liked the examples that were shown on how a therapist would re frame must and should statements and the bit about the public shame tactics in light of new technology.
melissaclendaniel
I appreciate you discussing the shame attacking exercise and how that could cause more harm today with social media then previously conducted. I like that you stressed that as a counselor we should always be evaluating ourselves and our techniques. An REBT counselor really teaches the client to be self-sufficient.
