In your opinion, what irrational beliefs on Albert Ellis’s list have the most relevance, which might not, for future human service work? How can you help a client refute these beliefs? REPLY BACK TO THIS STUDENTS POST: On Albert Ellis’s list of irrational beliefs that have the most relevance to human service workers I believe is, Overgeneralization -Seeing a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat. Thinking “always”, “never”, “people are”, or “the world is….”. When people experience a negative problem, they may always relate that situation as a negative. For example, if someone’s car did break down, they may always reference every car breaking down when they get in it. Allowing your client to understand that things do happen and are not intentional for every negative event that does occur can limit these thoughts. Expressing strategies to limit fear or negative thoughts would be ideal. One irrational belief that may not be of most relevance in human service workers is, should statements- Inflexible rules about how others and we should behave. People who break the rules make us angry, and we feel guilty when we violate these rules. A person may often believe they are trying to motivate themselves with should and/or shouldn’ts, as if they have to be punished before they can do anything. Everyone is going to experience should statements but can realize that a small change or redirecting can change their thought process. Redirecting the thought process as “tomorrow, I will wake up early so that I am not late for work” will help erase the guilty feeling of being late to work.
