The ABC Model of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT

preview_player
Показать описание
At the heart of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behaviour therapy (REBT) is the use of an ABC formulation.

🔵 THE ABC MODEL

☐ A is the activating event. This can be a real external event, a future event that you anticipate or an internal event such as an image or memory. The ‘A’ is usually referred to as your trigger.

☐ B is your beliefs about the event. This also includes thoughts, your personal rules and the meanings that you attach to events.

☐ C is the consequences. This includes your emotions, behaviours and physical sensations.

The basic idea behind this model is that an activating event (A) does not cause the consequences (C). Its actually the the belief (B) that causes the consequences.

🔵 THE ABC MODEL AND STOICISM

The creator of the ABC model, Albert Ellis, was influenced by Stoicism and the ancient philosopher. Epictetus who famously said, “Men are disturbed not be things, but by the views he takes of them’. Ellis drew on the notion that your interpretation of events has a greater impact than the event itself. The more illogical your interpretation the more you suffer. According to Albert Ellis:

☐ The primary cause of your unhelpful reactions is your beliefs about an event not the event itself
☐ You remain psychologically disturbed because you continue to hold on to our rigid beliefs.
☐ Psychological health only comes when you work hard to change your irrational beliefs.

The godfather of stoicism, Socrates used both logic and reason to help people discover and dispute their irrational beliefs. In CBT we use socratic socratic questioning to help the client challenge their beliefs.
