The Extended ABC

• Some facilitators extend the Basic ABC (with it’s D and E) to include F and G.

• F = New Feelings

  • After disputing irrational beliefs and making them rational, how do you feel?
  • Annoyed not angry, concerned not anxious, sad not depressed?

• G = Goals

  • How does the E (New Effect) help you reach your goals?
  • In the short-term? In the long-term?
