I go along with what Rex said regarding the distinction between bad act and bad person. This is important. However if someone is persistently causing harm to...
Tim, It is no wonder that you may have difficulty helping your group members understand and utilize Unconditional Self and Other Acceptance. Ellis himself said...
Dear Tim, I agree with Micah: people cannot be all-bad, we're all simply people who do bad things (even Hitler). Once you unconditionally accept the Hitlers of...
Hi all, I am the same as Diana. I write and write and write my illogical thoughts and I can write the "disputing" statements; but, I am having a really hard...
