Changing Habit Patterns
or Addictions for Good: An Overview of REBT and SMART® Recovery Methods
a public educational class/workshop for self-improvement
Presented
by: Anderson (Andy) Orr, M.Ed, MRE, LCAS
Saturday -
2/18/2012 10 am to 12 noon Umstead Park UCC 8208 Brownleigh Dr. Raleigh, NC 27617
This basic training session will introduce you to effective strategies for replacing dysfunctional thinking-feeling-behaving reaction patterns (a.k.a.,
bad habits or addictions) with more productive, practical, and satisfying responses. The two hour class will present the fundamental
concepts and methods of REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior
Therapy) and SMART® (Self-Management And Recovery Training). Learning how to understand and, more importantly,
how to practice REBT principles can help you develop and maintain healthier and more functional mental-emotional-behavioral
habits. For people interested in
changing counter-productive habits that have turned addictive, the insights and techniques of REBT are also at the core of SMART's self-help methods and SMART's free peer led "mutual-help
meetings" for overcoming addictive behaviors. Developing a basic grasp of REBT can help "make sense" of the
SMART program more quickly and attending SMART meetings more rewarding and enjoyable. The goal of this class, is to help you get started, or to continue, using REBT/SMART methods to: improve your emotional intelligence, relate more effectively with
people (especially those most important to you) and increase your overall satisfaction with life. Practicing REBT and SMART techniques can help you reduce or eliminate your
regrettable reaction patterns and addictive behaviors because you will... - think better - and make better choices by
learning to recognize, dispel, and replace "irrational" beliefs and thoughts with a more realistic, sensible, and
productive set of thinking skills
- feel better - by learning ways you can, in fact, "help how you feel" and
use techniques for reducing the frequency, intensity, and duration of unpleasant and disturbing emotions
- do better - by learning
how you can act and react more constructively when facing difficult people, unpleasant situations, and unfortunate life events.
