Reality therapy

Last night, i just felt i couldn't stop complaining!!!
i spent some time complaining to God before dozing off.

Today, i decided to read up a little bit about Reality Theory.


Characteristics of Reality Therapy

Reality therapist do not listen very long to complaining, blaming, and criticizing because there are the most ineffective behaviors in our behavioral repertoire.

When clients point out correctly that this is unfair, the therapist may agree and say, "There is no guarantee that life is fair, You are the only person who can change. Complaining may feel good for a short time, but it is a completely ineffective behavior."

-Corey, Gerald (2005). Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy. Brooks/Cole, Thomson Learning Inc.-


Did God just use a counseling book to speak to me?
Did He? Would He?

I'm suspecting God is using Reality Therapy on me! hehehe...
whatever it is, it made my day just to have the silly random thought!

=D
