RECBT works on the principle of changing irrational beliefs to rational beliefs. The therapy says that people are not disturbed by the things but by the way they see things. The disturbance is not on the event but how they feel about it. The RECBT approach is on the current triggering events and the outcome of those events. This process helps to identify the irrational beliefs that result in self – defeating thoughts and feelings which results in unhealthy emotions and behaviors and replace them with rational beliefs which will results in self – accepting thoughts, behaviors and healthy emotions.
