ABSTRACT
It is not known to what extent REBT therapists use REBT in their own lives, but it would be strange if they did not do so to some degree. Indeed, it is one good way of keeping your own REBT therapy skills well-honed. I (WD) have used REBT to cope with an extended period of unemployment during the mid-1980s as well as with my ongoing problem of anger. In this latter respect, I believe I have an inherited tendency towards anger and, while I cannot do anything about ridding myself of that, I have learned to apply my REBT skills as soon as I recognize that I am beginning to make myself angry, so that I do not perpetuate my angry feelings.
