Online: Putting things into perspective

I want to learn to keep undesired emotions under control.

External influences can cause stress and lead to emotions, but you play a crucial role in determining your stress levels. The main idea of the RET method is that it's not the situations themselves, but how you think and feel about them, that affects your stress. We all have emotions, whether we show them or not. RET training focuses on changing yourself by changing your thoughts. It can help you handle difficult situations better. By understanding your thoughts and their impact, you've already taken a big step towards this change.

What and how

You're eager to embark on this course that helps you put things into perspective. Just like the vast majority of people, you occasionally encounter stressful situations where emotions take over, causing you to behave in ways you'd rather not. Whether it's anger, quick irritation, or deep sadness, you desire to gain control over these emotions to minimize their impact on your well-being. However, once these emotions grip you, it becomes challenging to let go, leading to worry or self-blame, and draining you of negative energy. If you find yourself in this situation, it's time to take action, and you can indeed regain control over your emotions and reduce stress. The RET method is designed to aid you in coping with this type of stress.

The Rational Effectiveness Training (RET) method empowers you with logical thinking to systematically approach situations and overcome limiting thoughts. Throughout this RET course, you'll practice this approach extensively, emphasizing self-direction and rational thinking. We all encounter emotions like unhappiness or anger at times, which can lead to stress. While examining your emotions and behavior may seem daunting, it's an essential step toward positive change.

At the beginning of this learning journey, you may feel a similar tension to preparing for a significant journey. This is normal as exploring emotions and behavior can be challenging and confrontational. Yet, it's part of the process. Stay focused on your goal: to handle certain situations differently. Expressing emotions may not be natural for you, but it doesn't mean you don't experience them. Customize the examples and exercises to suit your situation.

Understanding RET can be highly beneficial, but the real work lies in your hands. You'll learn to recognize irrational thoughts and transform them. New Heroes equips you with knowledge, a step-by-step plan, thought patterns, practical exercises, and journaling. Just like training as an athlete, disciplined practice leads to quicker results.

After this learning journey, you'll be able to:

cope with irrational thoughts
break your patterns of thought with effective behavior
reduce undesired emotions and stress
