Guilt Destroys Remorse Repairs | REBT Explained

Most people think beating themselves up is necessary for growth. REBT challenges that idea. In this video, I explain the powerful difference between guilt and remorse in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. Both recognize wrongdoing, but guilt leads to global self-condemnation while remorse promotes responsibility, repair, growth, and unconditional self-acceptance. You can fully acknowledge harmful behavior without defining yourself as a completely bad person. This distinction can profoundly affect: • relationships • addiction recovery • trauma recovery • anxiety and depression • shame • self-esteem • and emotional healing Based on the work of Albert Ellis and REBT. #REBT #AlbertEllis #Psychology #MentalHealth #CBT #Therapy #SelfAcceptance #Shame #Guilt #Remorse #EmotionalHealth #Psychotherapy #Relationships #AddictionRecovery #TraumaRecovery
