I love his approach, no beating around the bush, he told it like it was.

Hi, The point here is this style of therapy addresses people going "everytime i open my big mouth i put my foot in it" so instead of dressing it up and pussy footing therapist goes in and says "open your big mouth and keep doing it, see, the foot is going in less often, see it's stopped.." and "hey look you are holding your own!"

@rick6176 how he is preaching? i dont percive that, please explain

[pedagogyagent]

Albert Ellis is such an effective therapist ... he displays a balance between compassion and corrective guidance ..... he gives such agreat advice .... " Be yourself ! " .... I cant think of anything more kind to say to someone .... he is effectively saying to her that she is fine as she is and shouldnt be afraid .... that disappointment and frustration is just an evitable component of life and she should relax and be herself ......

ellis is preaching

[Portubed]

Read my questions again. I stand by a non-commitment with minority. This idea that you don't get hurt if you don't get involved, thereby neglecting the person's real DESIRE and attempting to foster the best the person is capable of so they can grow into the person they wish to be and therefore become able to start a relationship with someone is what everyone in these comments seem to be missing. People are capable of a lot more - I never said Gloria has everything figured out, therapy sorts it.

@Portubed her anxiety stems from her insecurity; she is worried that men will not like her true identity, so she feels pressured to become someone else. unfortunately, she fails at acting. the doctor will not teach her dating skills to get the man, because he feels in the long run, she wont be happy; she is trying to change her true identity to grab a rich guy rather than find a poor guy who shares the same entertainment. however, Patty from Matchmaker Millionaire does this for a fee.

@Portubed hes teaching women to think differently about rejection so her ego remains emotionally intact afterward. before, she blamed her own shortcomings for every rejection. now, she blames the rejection on the incompatibility between two unlike people. he is teaching people to adopt different schools of thinking which i think you find "philosophically" dangerous.

i love u ellis

[ucrtherapyworks]

Being rejected by another will only leave you broken if your self worth is invested in this external locus of evaluation (in PCT , or "driver / script" in TA / etc .... pick your phrase according to your modality), which is basically an unhealthy state to be in...

[ucrtherapyworks]

Portubed......Surely pretty much all therapy comes from a belief that the individual being able to to find sense of worth from within rather than relying on the acceptance of others is integral to self-actualization? Although I too find Ellis a little hurried and preachy his underlying reasoning runs along the lines of most common psychotherapeutic understanding, so where does the issue with the "praxis" comes from?

[zinyadu]

Though I'd admit that his technique is way too rude and that he tends to suppress nuances (which on the other hand could be seen as reasonable). However, that does not mean that the general idea is wrong. In the bigger picture he answers the questions Porturbed deems unnoticed by trying to alter the way she perceives herself ("be confident instead of anxious, there's really nothing you can lose"). He might have been a bit pushy, because he did not have much time for this session, too.
