4 MAIN ISSUES OF REBT

The four main issues that Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) typically focuses on are:

1. Self-Ratings or Judging Your Personhood a.k.a. self-esteem and ego.
2. Demands or Musts & Shoulds (control issues versus acceptance).
3. LFT Low Frustration Tolerance (easily upset, weak-minded, emotionally immature).
4. Awfulizing or Catastrophizing (considering things to be worse than they are).

“‘I should not should,’ can be a healthy or unhealthy attitude. If you interpret it as a demand (should), then it will lead to emotional conflicts and likely also behavioral conflicts. If you interpret it as a guideline (should), then it will lead to your avoiding some of the emotional and behavior conflicts that arise from demandingness.” —Kevin Everett FitzMaurice
