What is REBT?

Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s, is a highly effective and evidence-based form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Often called rational emotive therapy or rational therapy, REBT focuses on identifying and changing irrational beliefs that lead to emotional distress. It's one of the few therapies in psychology with strong evidence supporting its effectiveness.

At its core, REBT helps you understand how you interpret events and how those interpretations shape your emotions and behaviors. It’s an action-oriented approach designed to help you manage your emotions, thoughts, and actions. Instead of events themselves causing distress, it's how you think about those events that matters. Negative thinking patterns and irrational beliefs are often the root cause of psychological problems.
