Rational Song as Shame-Attacking Exercise in REBT

Jeffrey T. Guterman, Ph.D. demonstrates a rational song as a shame-attacking exercise, techniques used in rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT). The use of the music from the song Misty qualifies as a "fair use" in keeping with U.S. copyright statute.

REBT
(Lyrics by Jeffrey T. Guterman, Sung to the tune, Misty)

Look at me
I'm as hopeless and depressed as I can be
But now I do understand,
The cause of my misery
Yes I understand what's causing my misery

Walk my way
And you'll hear me whining through the day
Or it might be the sound of my heart,
Breaking in two
Cause I'm doing what I never knew

I am demanding that my life be fulfilled
In almost every way I can imagine
Don't you realize how hopelessly I'm lost
That's why I'm following you, Al

Now, look at me
I'm determined to overcome this misery
I see exactly what it's going to take
To make the changes I want to make
It's just four letters
And they are—REBT

You sing better than Lady Gaga. Wear a costume and some funky shoes and you'll be a millionaire.
