Indeed.

Nice to finally have my website out there. For me, it highlights my work but also a further means to connect with others around my passion for sport and psychology. I am very lucky to have a career I enjoy thoroughly mcconnpsychology.com

Are you interested in a specific REBT workshop? Let us know and we will see if we can run it rebtuk.com scroll down to the form on workshops and let us know your suggestions.

Exciting announcement. We developed a scale that assesses people’s endorsement of two beliefs. 1) emotions are caused solely by events, 2) cognitive change leads to emotional change. REBTers may recognise these ideas as fitting into the concepts of A-C and B-C thinking. 1/4

The 15-item cognitive mediation beliefs questionnaire (CMBQ) was validated with occupational samples, including participants with a mental health condition. You can find the measure here: researchgate.net/publication/34… 2/4

We found that A-C thinking was related to poorer emotion regulation tendencies, poorer mental health, and more persistent, intense, and sensitive emotional reactivity (that’s a bad thing). B-C thinking yielded opposing results. 3/4

You can read this blog thesmarterthinkingproject.com/it-made-me-str… about the CMBQ, and access the paper here – 50 free copies available - tandfonline.com/eprint/8YIEFTS….

I need to stop reading Albert Ellis' work. It's ridiculous (!) The more I read, the more I realise how comprehensive REBT is (when understood, and practiced skill-fully). Albert Ellis Institute REBT UK REBTSport-Exercise-Performance Dr Andrew Wood Performance Psychology Consultant @thinkpsychol
