This might be part of the problem. Getting behind an idea means imbuing it with our conviction and our passion. Such commitment is vital when pushing for an initiative or suggestion that you think is important to implement. This enthusiasm also helps you bring others to your cause. But it...

Introduction to the ABCs of REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) A PDF version of this article is available here: ABC Crash Course If you get some paper and a pencil to use while you read this, you can learn this technique in 10 minutes. The ABCs are an exercise from REBT, which is a...

No, REBT isn't "stuffing" feelings. It is capturing them, holding them frozen in time, and stripping them of their presumptuous camouflage so that you can deal with them in their raw, unvarnished form before accepting them as fact, or acting on them without more information and awareness.

People don't change overnight. There will be a lot of the same kind of "protective, retaliatory lashing out" at all of us if we all (including Jennifer) choose to see if this "Jesus Stuff" really works. But we are going to have to be as thick-skinned as we are asking her to learn to become.

Jennifer, I am such a believer in and proponent of individuals using REBT in their daily lives, that I invested 24 years of my life to giving instruction in the use of it. I firmly expect this advice to be ignored, but it could be of GREAT advantage to you to go online to look into what REBT...

What business is it of yours to "REPORT" him? Did someone elect you Hall Monitor while I was out having breakfast? So, you think he's weird? So what?

See what I mean about how your own language and attitude just begs for people to kick you back? You are probably your own worst enemy, yet you refuse to do anything about it.

Many people here have pointed out to you that you receive certain types of responses and replies here for often no other reason beyond the particular content and perceived attitude of your own remarks.

Is the way you deal with things and the comfort level with which you react to people satisfactory to you? If they were, then wouldn't you feel contentment in the answers so many of your posts generate? Do you feel pleased with the way people respond to you? If you like things the way they now...

Do I have to know you to not want you to hurt? 35 years ago, when I began teaching Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy classes (REBT), I foolishly thought I was helping people by sheltering them and protecting them from the realities of the consequences of their actions that derived their...

Please don't ever get the idea that people have to say sweet things to you or else they are not being honest and straight with you.

That's what I just said, "We all do it."

I think I have said it before, just as we will find the "God" we look for and expect to see, so will we find verses that say what we want them to say.

Yet, right here, you just made blanket judgements of a whole bunch of people. (See? We all do it.)

It was mainly because they didn't put Caesar first. The Roman government really didn't care how many other gods got worshiped, or what "beliefs" were expressed, as long as the Caesar got top billing... AND the full tribute ($) they demanded.

I imagine most of us already knew this.
