Feedback:
REBT posits that rational beliefs are evaluative and nonabsolute cognitions. Irrational beliefs tend to be dogmatic and are expressed in the form of rigid "musts," "shoulds," "oughts," or "have-tos." They lead to negative emotions (eg, depression, anxiety, guilt, anger) that interfere with goal pursuit and attainment.
