Mock Interview
Using the same helper from last week, or a new helper, conduct a new hypothetical therapy session using the ABCs of REBT. Have the client describe something that happened to them that resulted in some negative feelings. As the therapist, ask your client questions to:
• Clarify the event and their feelings and to elicit their beliefs about the event.
• Help them figure out what is irrational about their beliefs and how that is the cause of their negative feelings.
• Help them develop more rational beliefs leading to more positive feelings.
You will evaluate this interview in a discussion for this unit.
