REBT counters these irrational beliefs with a series of steps dubbed the ABCDE approach:

A: an activating external or internal event.

B: your beliefs about the world around you.

C: the consequences of how your beliefs interpret events. Irrational or distorted beliefs lead to negative consequences and feelings.

D: disputing irrational beliefs to avoid their negative impact.

E: the effects of challenging irrational beliefs, such as lowering stress, overcoming self-blame, and feeling less anger, guilt, and frustration.

Answer 1

Example-

ABC is the analysis of the problem and related cognition-

A- an activating external or internal event

->I failed in the test of Mathematics

B- your beliefs about the world around you

->I am not good at it, I never get good marks in mathematics, I am a failure

C- the consequences of how your beliefs interpret events. Irrational or distorted beliefs lead to negative consequences and feelings

->I know now people think I am useless and Now I avoid classes of mathematics and avoid an encounter with the teacher of mathematics

Once the ABCs are discovered and explored, the intervention (DE) begins-

D- disputing irrational beliefs to avoid their negative impact

->Asking questions such as why must you perfect in this subject?, What is the proof that people think you are useless?

E- the effects of challenging irrational beliefs, such as lowering stress, overcoming self-blame, and feeling less anger, guilt, and frustration

->Answering irrational questions such as I will succeed if I try, there is no reason to avoid classes and teachers of mathematics.
