The A-B-C-D model, created by Albert Ellis, is viewed worldwide as incredible treatment to defeat outrage the board issues.
- An (Activation Agent) − The circumstance that triggers your displeasure.
- B (Believing) − How you decipher the initiating occasion.
- C (Consequences) − This is your emotions and activities because of your conviction.
- D (Dispute) − "Questioning" is checking with convictions on the off chance that they are sensible or only a fabrication of your misshaped creative mind. This is huge in Anger Management.
Example of the A-B-C-D Model
An (Activation Agent)
You're strolling down the steps and someone slams into you and takes off without saying 'sorry'
B (Believing)
You think, "Everyone is so wild these days; they treat others like bugs."
C (Conclusions)
You notice that your muscles are tense, your pulse is high, and you have an inclination that you need to hit the controlling wheel. You lower your window and holler a swearword out at the other driver.
D (Dispute)
You could state to yourself − "Perhaps he had some crisis… most likely not, however you never know; this is life."
Questioning your silly conviction with this sort of objective self-talk diffuses outrage and quiets you down.
