Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy Halo Style

Just in case you didn’t know that counselling psychologists in Halo employ Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy when working with shell-shocked or otherwise distressed troops in the game world.

In this quick little Halo piece, some of the principles of REBT are introduced in an intriguingly fun way. The video was created by a student for a course in Psychology.

REBT was developed within the work of Albert Ellis and long long ago, back when I was doing my first graduate degree and working in a project that helped students at the university overcome debilitating communication apprehension, we used a variation of hypnotic conditioning with REBT as part of our standard protocol. It was one of the most successful university project programs in communication apprehension . . . well, back then, but that was a very long time ago and I’ve learned a whole bunch of tricks of the trade since then that have made the work much more successful.

Here’s a more formal introduction to REBT – http://counsellingresource.com/types/rational-emotive/index.html – for those with an interest.

For those in Taipei who wish to check out live hypnosis, see my webpages at http://www.briandavidphillips.com . . . others can check the site for audio products and DVDs.
