REBT can help deal with these as well as many more issues. REBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, as well as the world around us determine our emotional states and our behaviours. Moreover, REBT attempts at identify the unhealthy beliefs and thought patterns that lead to unhealthy patterns in a relationship and change them with healthier ones.
