oh wow, these are interesting to watch. i watched some of each. ellis would annoy me as he's just too focused on being rational. perls was a hoot to watch but probably not easy to have as a T and rogers didn't really give any insight. i kept wanting him to tell her that she can't have it all so learn to embrace the middle ground.
anyway scott, i haven't done REBT but bought a book on emotions that i didn't realize was REBT. i don't know if it would help but you could at least practice the concepts without the annoying T.
it was
SOS help for emotions: managing anxiety, anger and depression. i agree that sometimes people who accomplish great things do not always have great character. great success requires a lot of confidence & determination and maybe that reduces empathy because the person is so focused on their own goals. that's my 2 cent theory anyway.
