REBT
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."
Of
course life doesn't always allow us to have what we want; our goal of being
happy is often thwarted by the "slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune." When our goals are blocked, we can respond in ways that are
healthy and helpful, or we can react in ways that are unhealthy and unhelpful. (Taken from www.rebtnetwork.org)
