This document provides an overview of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) developed by Albert Ellis. It discusses how REBT posits that activating events lead to beliefs which then lead to emotional and behavioral consequences. It notes people can control their reactions by changing their thoughts. Ellis identified 12 typical irrational beliefs that cause distress and provided disputing statements for each. REBT aims to help people suffering unnecessarily by changing irrational thoughts about events that happen to them. It focuses on discovering and breaking down irrational beliefs that hold people back from living rationally.
This therapy was developed by Albert Ellis. It focuses on an individual's beliefs, whether rational or irrational, the emotions that they have due to these beliefs and the behaviour that they show based on both the beliefs and emotions.
This is a presentation regarding Albert Ellis' REBT. Ellis' model teaches us to dispute irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ones to experience effective change.

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a type cognitive therapy first used by Albert Ellis which focuses on resolving emotional and behavioral problems. The goal of the therapy is to change irrational beliefs to more rational ones.
REBT encourages a person to identify their general and irrational beliefs (e.g. I must be perfect") and subsequently persuades the person to challenge these false beliefs through reality testing.

Person-centred therapy, also known as person-centred or client-centred counselling, is a humanistic approach that deals with the ways in which individuals perceive themselves consciously, rather than how a counsellor can interpret their unconscious thoughts or ideas.
The core purpose of person-centred therapy is to facilitate our ability to self-actualise - the belief that all of us will grow and fulfil our potential. This approach facilitates the personal growth and relationships of a client by allowing them to explore and utilise their own strengths and personal identity. The counsellor aids this process, providing vital support to the client and they make their way through this journey.

“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?” – Epictetus, Stoic philosopher
Where can you find joy? Gain strength? How should we face our fears? Deal with the death of a loved one? And what about those reoccurring depressing thoughts?
While traditional schooling doesn’t address such questions, it’s exactly what ancient schools of philosophy were all about: They taught you how to live. Even though these schools don’t exist anymore, you and I and most people are in as much need of a philosophy that guides us through life as we ever were.
This compelling, highly actionable guide shows you how to deal more effectively with whatever life throws at you and live up to your best self.
A mix of timeless wisdom and empowering advice, The Little Book of Stoicism will point the way to anyone seeking a calm and wise life in a chaotic world.

Self confidence and fearlessness are about following a certain set of rules when you present you to yourself and you to others outside you. Follow these rules and you will never be short on confidence.
Repeating the Trauma: Unconscious Factors that Determine Contemporary LifeJames Tobin, Ph.D.
Early developmental factors that pre-determine who we are romantically attracted to and with whom we ultimately choose to be. The narcissistic-codependent bond is only one example of a broader, and more insidious, concept: the human mind is programmed to seek out the “familiar,” no matter how unhealthy, across the lifespan. This notion has been widely supported by theorists in evolutionary psychology and the social sciences, but is not often emphasized when considering the problems of contemporary life. In this presentation, I outline why and how we seek to repeat the fundamental circumstances of early life in relationships, friendships, workplace settings, in our finance status, and in how we see and treat ourselves. While most of our early childhoods are relatively healthy, I will argue that a specific, fundamental trauma underlies each of our personalities and largely determines how our lives unfold. I will also share my ideas regarding how liberation from this pattern may occur.

158 MoRALITY AND sELF-INTEREST
unselfish, that you give up your happiness to the selfishness of someone else, or that
the person demanding it has just never thought it out.
'W'hatever the reason, you're not likely to convince such a person to stop his
demands. But it will create much less pressure on you if you realize that it's bis self-
ish reason. And you can eliminate the problem entirely by looking for more com-
patible companions.
To find constant, profound happiness requires that you be free to seek the grat-
ification of your own desires. It means making positive choices.
If you slip into the Unselfishness Trap, you'll spend a good part of your time
making negative choices-trying to avoid the censure of those who tell you not to
think of yourself. You won't have time to be free.
If someone finds happiness by doing "good works" for others, let him.
doesn't mean that's the best way for you to find happiness.
And when someone accuses you of being selfish, just remember that he's
upset because you aren't doing what be selfishly wants you to do.
Srunv QursroNs
1,. Browne claims that when we behave unselfishly we, more often than not, sacrifice our
own happiness. Do you agree? 'Why'or why not?
2. Browne says that everyone is selfish because we all do what we believe will make us feel
good. Critics of egoism such as James Rachels claim that what makes an act selfish or
unselfish is its obiecf, not simply that it makes you feel good. If you are the sort of
person who feels good when you help others, then you are unselfish. If you feel good
only wben helping yourself, then you are selfish. Discuss the issue that divides Rachels
and Browne, and assess their respective positions.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

27. The Albert Ellis 12 typical irrational
beliefs and disputing statements
27
▧ 1. The idea that it is a
dire necessity for adults
to be loved by significant
others for almost
everything they do…
▧ 2. The idea that certain
acts are awful or wicked,
and that people who
perform such acts should
be severely damned…
▧ … instead of their
concentrating on their own
self-respect, on winning
approval for practical
purposes, and on loving
rather than on being loved.
▧ … instead of the idea that
certain acts are self-
defeating or antisocial, and
that people who perform
such acts are behaving
stupidly, ignorantly, or
neurotically, and would be
better helped to
change. People’s poor
behaviors do not make them
rotten individuals.
28. The Albert Ellis 12 typical irrational
beliefs and disputing statements
28
▧ … instead of the idea that it
is too bad, that we had better
try to change or control bad
conditions so that they
become more satisfactory,
and, if that is not possible,
we had better temporarily
accept and gracefully lump
their existence.
▧ … instead of the idea that
neurosis is largely caused by
the view that we take of
unfortunate conditions.
▧ 3. The idea that it is
horrible when things are
not the way we like them
to be…
▧ 4. The idea that human
misery is invariably
externally caused and is
forced on us by outside
people and events…
29. The Albert Ellis 12 typical irrational
beliefs and disputing statements

one had better frankly face it
and render it non-dangerous,
and, when that is not
possible, accept the
inevitable.
▧ … instead of the idea that
the so-called easy way is
usually much harder in the
long run.
▧ … instead of the idea that it
is better to take the risks of
thinking and acting less
dependently.
▧ 5. The idea that if
something is or may be
dangerous or fearsome
we should be terribly
upset and endlessly
obsess about it…
▧ 6. The idea that it is
easier to avoid than to
face life difficulties and
self-responsibilities…
▧ 7. The idea that we
absolutely need
something other or
stronger or greater than
ourself on which to rely…
30. The Albert Ellis 12 typical irrational
beliefs and disputing statements

▧ … instead of the idea that
we would prefer to do well
rather than always need to
do well, and accept ourself
as a quite imperfect
creature, who has general
human limitations and
specific fallibilities.
▧ … instead of the idea that
we can learn from our past
experiences but not be
overly-attached to or
prejudiced by them.
▧ 8. The idea that we
should be thoroughly
competent, intelligent,
and achieving in all

indefinitely affect it…

▧ How *you* are: e.g. You MUST be kind and

So, the questions here....
...
First, let us have a survery...
Who among you, ...
Or...
With their loved ones, partners, collegues, wife, family members or the authorities?
Who among you are...
So,...
Well, the good news???
Its basic premise is that...
....
Okay, so, let’s quickly check about it’s proponent first.. Dr. Albert Ellis!
He developed the framework back 1950’s and originally called it Rational Therapy, & over time he changed its name first to Rational Emotive Therapy & then in the 1980’s to Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
Ellis was a philosopher at heart and studied many of the great Greek philosophers in order to gain an understanding of their teachings
and he brought much of this into his work on REBT
REBT’s basis can be summed up by the Greek stoic philosopher Epictetus, who said,..
A- there’s Agression or Activating Event. It is the antecedent or something that happens to us. It could be situation, another person, our thoughts | C – The consequence. The emotion that we feel or behavior that we do. Most of the time, there’s a Negative Consequence, upsetness, feeling of being hurt or anger...
But in between A & C is a B | We don’t think about the B | The B stands for a Belief System, a belief in what they say or what they do.
& So, a counselor’s job when YOU come to them saying, “My feelings are hurt”; “I’m miserable”, “ I’ve got this enemy in my life, they’re really driving me crazy, hurting my feelings”,
the counselor’s job is to help you identify your belief sytem about what their saying or doing.
Because if you can identify your broken belief patterns,
(that you are giving their words too much power, you’re looking for their approval, you’re living for their affection towards you.
You insist that they respect you. When they don’t, your feelings are hurt.)
If you can change your belief system, no matter what they say, they cannot hurt your feelings.
Because those people say the same things to others and others don’t even care.
Why? Because they don’t believe that their words have any power.
But because you believe that person is important and you believe that their words or actions are scandalous, terrible and horrific, you have such a negative consequence that you’ve got disturbed.
But it’s not them that disturbed you, It’s you and your belief system that has disturb yourself.
Let‘s give an example:

There’s where social science has been for over 60 years....
We have the biological & cultural tendency to think crookedly - - - - To needlessly disturb ourselves
Humans are self-talking, self-evaluating & self-sustaining
We develop emotional & behavioral problems when we mistake simple preferences (love, approval) for dire needs
But our attitudes, our belief, our thougths – the way we think about events and the meanings we give to them ---
will directly affect how we feel and behave.
During his time as a therapist, he identified 12 irrational beliefs that many people have. Ellis’ definition of an irrational belief is that:
It distorts reality
It is illogical
It prevents you from reaching your goals
It leads to unhealthy emotions
It leads to self-defeating behavior
Musterbatory Hypothesis
Ellis by the way, was a colorful character and he coined the term musterbate, awful-ising, terrible-ising, absolutistic and I-cant-stand-it-itis... These are some of his concept..
In psychotherapy it is also known as inflexible ‘DEMAND THINKING’, and ‘RULES FOR LIVING
Why all the absolute inflexible MUST demands of yourself and others and the world? Is that realistic?
Are we a special being that unusual universal laws apply to? Are we somebody who has the supreme power to control people, situations and events? Is it written in stone or in the stars that things must be as you demand them to be?
The solution is to quite build awareness of when we attempt to control our environments with our musterbation, and to consciously and deliberately thought stop and replace our inflexible demands with realistic ‘PREFERENCES’ instead
– to restructure our negative automatic thoughts with healthy rational alternative thinking – over and over and over again, until we have new hardwired thinking that respects and has UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE of ourselves and others and the world.
Big job, but it can be done,
it’s been proven to alleviate stress and anxiety and to curb self-sabotaging behaviours (aggression, avoidance, procrastination etc).
And the good news is that the brain (literally!) rewires when your new responses give better outcomes, and makes the healthier attitudes and thinking and behaviours your new automatic defaults.
Apply apply apply…
Change your life.
