The ABC Model -- A Model of Everything
The ABC Model is a way to look at why and how we behave in the ways we do. The ABC Model is a good way to view and understand the work of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as outlined by field leaders such as Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck.
CBT has been proven to be as effective, if not more effective than drugs used for disorders such as anxiety and depression. I have found the model to be a quite effective starting place in working with clients on a variety of issues. But, as I show in these videos, the model can be applied to more than just mental health problems. I believe the model explains why we do everything we do. The model can be used to understand and undo those things in our lives we'd like to shed as well as create (or expand on) the aspects we'd like more of.
Here are three videos that explain the ABC Model:
