Rational Therapy, a therapy model influenced by the philosophy of Albert Ellis, is an effective therapy model in preventing difficulties in life, managing behavioral patterns that may arise due to our beliefs and thoughts, and especially on depression. Its philosophy is also derived from thinkers such as Epictatus, Marcus, Aurellius, Confucius, etc. Rational therapy, which is influenced and nurtured, focuses on working with "Cognition". Generally, individuals are affected not by events but by their perceptions of events. In this therapy model, events analyzed on 3 basic structures are examined through ABC modeling.
*A:Event:(Activating),
*B (Beliefs):Beliefs,
*C(Consequences):Emotions and behaviors.
In addition, the therapist;
* D (Disputing): With refutation techniques, the therapist restructures the client's thought system, analyzes the thoughts and enables the client to renew his thoughts.
According to rational therapy modelling; The individual is responsible for himself. Separating the individual's emotions is essential and it is very important for the individual to identify healthy and unhealthy negative emotions. For example, while being depressed and devastated in the face of a situation is unhealthy and negative emotions, normal levels of anxiety and worry are healthy negative emotions. The main goal of therapies is for the individual to feel healthy negative emotions about events. Rationality, that is, realistic thought system; is logical, useful, goal-oriented, realistic and It defends healthy emotions.
OUR BASIC BELIEFS:
*Exaggerated Demanding
*Terrorization
*Low tolerance
*Devaluing oneself and life are negative belief systems inherent in all people.
In this therapy modeling, the client must well understand the connection between belief and outcome systems, which we call the B-C Link. What is the goal? How realistic are the worst scenarios? Sessions focusing on questions such as how correct it is to manage them etc. follow the process. The process continues depending on the psychopathological intensity of the individual.
