PROGRAM
The Advanced Certificate is the second level of training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). During these intense four days, participants learn strategies to achieve cognitive change through a variety of styles of restructuring irrational beliefs. The process of REBT across multiple sessions, including progress monitoring, use of homework, relapse prevention, and preparation for the termination will be addressed. Having developed a strong foundation in the premise of REBT in the Primary Certificate Program, the applications of the theory to various emotional problems, including depression, anxiety, eating challenges, and anger will be taught. Participants will learn the various irrational beliefs and special considerations when working with each of these emotional problems, as well as various homework assignments to negotiate with clients. A lecture is devoted to working with resistant clients. Participants will receive fourteen hours of small group peer counseling with an Albert Ellis Institute Core Faculty Trainer or certified REBT supervisor providing in vivo supervision to practice their skills using real emotional and/or behavioral problems.
