Frequently Asked Questions
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) is a form of psychotherapy and a philosophy of living created by Albert Ellis in the 1950’s. It is the pioneering form of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). REBT (pronounced R.E.B.T.) is based on the premise that whenever we become upset, it is not the events taking place in our lives that upset us; it is the beliefs that we hold that cause us to become depressed, anxious, enraged, etc. The idea that our beliefs upset us was first articulated by Epictetus around 2,000 years ago: “Men are disturbed not by events,but by the views which they take of them.”
REBT recommends a range of 8 to 12 therapy session for a significant benefit. However, the length of treatment will depend on the severity of symptoms and the number of conditions being treated.
