I found out about this yesterday, read so much and found the approach fascinating and more to the point in my case than CBT.
Is anyone familiar with it?

I found a few things helpful. I still have the book "SOS Help for Emotions", by Lynn Clark PhD, that my therapist and I used. My therapist was very enthusiastic about REBT.

It isn't the kind of therapy that is most helpful to me but obviously many have found it to be just right for them.

Thanks!
I am looking for a good CBT therapist to resume therapy....I have stress management issues and anger issues, mainly at work which is stressful to death....But i am not sure any of those who are subsidized by the state are into REBT :-(

I saw Dr Albert Ellis speak at a Mensa gathering in NYC in the 80's - he used a lot of expletives! Aside from that, what I got from reading his stuff was like, if you say, life's not fair, his answer is, you're right it's not, now deal with it. I feel like I'm a special case - maybe I could have gone the RET route if someone would have told me the truth about my family and my place in it. But a close caring relationship with my current t is what finally made it safe for me to face and accept and survive that truth. So - Dr Ellis isnt wrong - you just have to be in the right space to hear him.
