How to Coach Yourself and Others Influencing, Inter Personal and Leadership Skills | Page 129

In addition to the ABC framework, REBT also employs three primary insights:
While external events are of undoubted influence, psychological disturbance is largely a
matter of personal choice in the sense that individuals consciously or unconsciously
select both rational beliefs and irrational beliefs at (B) when negative events occur at (A)
Past history and present life conditions strongly affect the person, but they do not, in
and of themselves, disturb the person; rather, it is the individual’s responses which
disturb them, and it is again a matter of individual choice whether to maintain the
philosophies at (B) which cause disturbance.
Modifying the philosophies at (B) requires persistence and hard work, but it can be done.

The Triangle emblem is an “impossible figure,” an
optical illusion. The figure was designed by Fred L.
Holtz more than thirty years ago and was originally
created simply to be thought provoking. HPS now
uses the symbol to represent the three dimensions
of the mind that need to be in balance for
Psychological Well Being: Rational Thoughts,
Healthy Range of Emotions, and Effective Behaviors.
Therapy helps you achieve all of these.
