Welcome to Module 11 of Coach School – Rational Emotive Behavioural Coaching

Rational Emotive Behavioural Coaching follows on as an extension of Cognitive Behaviour Coaching and further explains the relationship between practical problems, and emotional problems.

REBC describes practical problems as first order problems, and a second order of problems are created by the emotional suffering caused by the practical problems.

REBC offers a useful reframe for clients who are blocked by unnecessary emotional suffering.

Practical

Using the strategies and techniques that you have acquired from modules 9-11 demonstrate your knowledge and the ability to use a variety of techniques from these coaching modalities through a series of coaching sessions with a client (who is not a personal friend or family member).

You will need to coach them for a minimum of 3 sessions not less than 40 minutes per coaching session. Each session should be summarized using the format below.

– Life area being discussed with the client

– Strategies & techniques used by you the coach

– Action plan to be implemented by the client

– Reflection on your professional process

– Including things you did well and things you could have done better.

– Overall outcomes reached by the client at the end of the 3 sessions

– what progress have they made? How do you know?

Disputing Irrational Beliefs

1.Discuss what irrational beliefs you currently hold:

2.Discuss which beliefs you are ready to dispute and let go of:

3.Discuss each belief below, and outline why the belief is an inaccurate belief to hold:

4. What evidence currently presents itself (or has presented itself in the past) that shows the belief is not a truthful belief.

5. What will happen if your irrational belief is not met?

6. What will happen if your irrational belief is met?

7. What good things could happen if I let go of this irrational belief and develop and more productive belief that serves me better?

8. What new belief could I form, which would serve me better than the current irrational belief that I hold?

The following process illustrates the ABC of personality:

B = Belief

C = Consequences (Emotional & Behavioral)

D = Disputing Intervention

E = Effect

F = New Feeling

1. Discuss the activating event. What is the situation, or person that you or your client is feeling unhappy over?

2.As a result of the above event, discuss the emotions you or your client are experiencing. Emotions may include, anger, upset, frustration, sadness, confusion and so on.

3.As a result of the above answers what behaviour are you or your client playing out which is not helping you or others.

4. What beliefs are you or your client holding which are irrational? Example: Demands, Awfulizing, Discomfort intolerances, People Rating and Overgeneralizing.

5.Dispute the irrational beliefs that you or your client currently hold. Example: Why is it imperative that I must X? Who said that if I do X then I am a X?

6. What would a healthier belief about the situation or person be?

7. What would be a healthier emotion be?

8. What would a healthier behaviour be?
