REBT Expert Flips My Childbirth Anxiety! Dr Joffe Ellis Ep 60

#rebt #psychotherapy #anxiety

Can you choose how you feel about… anything - using Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)?

When I watched a video of psychologist Dr Debbie Joffe Ellis giving a presentation in which she suggested that anxiety, anger, and other emotions are a CHOICE, I knew I had to invite her to appear as a guest on healthHackers® so she could share with all of you (and me!) HOW we get to create our own emotions.

Dr Debbie is a world-renowned expert in REBT. She spent years collaborating with her husband, the father and creator of REBT, Dr Albert Ellis, before he passed away in 2007.

His work is understood to have helped lay the foundations for the well-known CBT; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

One of Dr Debbie's primary goals is sharing the techniques of REBT with everyone - not just teaching health care professionals.

In her words, REBT "minimizes misery and maximizes joy, when the reality is that life probably will contain loss and suffering for most of us."

In episode 60, Dr Debbie covers:

🔹Why she describes REBT as "a no nonsense, no BS" approach
🔹Why it's never about the event, it's about the way you view it
🔹Key questions to challenge your own beliefs about any situation
🔹A demo of how to dispute irrational beliefs (using my upcoming childbirth as a real-life example!)
🔹Healthy and unhealthy anger
🔹Letting go of unhealthy anger aimed at another person because of something they did to you
🔹Unconditional self acceptance - even when you screw up
🔹What happened when Dr Albert Ellis first proposed the concept of REBT
