|  | Coping with Dishonesty in Romantic Relationships
By Walter J. Matweychuk, Ph.D.
Sadly, humans are capable of deceit and dishonesty in all human relationships. However, when dishonesty occurs in romance, it is especially painful. You do not live in a utopian world with saintly beings; sadly, the fallible humans you love sometimes will act dishonestly. Sometimes, they believe it is too painful for them to hurt you with the truth, take the easy way out, and tell you what you want to hear. Other times, they act selfishly and deceive you without regard for your rights. Regardless of their motives, rather than become bitter, give up on love, or put yourself down, it is best to strive to have a … See full article
| | Coping with Unrequited Love with Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
By Walter J. Matweychuk, Ph.D.
It is relatively easy for people to experience unhealthy versions of different negative emotions, which are part of the human experience. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy encourages people to distinguish between a healthy version of a negative feeling and a harmful version. Once stuck in an unhealthy emotional state, humans often act in self-defeating ways. Furthermore, an unhealthy negative emotion may distort our thinking of future and past events. Although not a negative emotion, romantic love is a highly charged emotional state. When you face the adversity of unrequited love, if you respond with unhealthy emotional disturbance, it is because … See full article

By Walter J. Matweychuk, Ph.D.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy emphasizes three forms of acceptance: unconditional self-acceptance, unconditional other acceptance, and unconditional life acceptance. It is essential to recognize the importance of cultivating unconditional life acceptance. Unconditional life acceptance may be the form of acceptance least spoken of in REBT. Unconditional life acceptance is the antidote for self-pity, depression, anger, and anxiety in response to the threats to our safety and comfort, losses, failures, undeserved burdens, obstructions, and prizing what others have.

| | How to Profit from Constructive Criticism with Help from REBT
By Walter J. Matweychuk, Ph.D.
People who develop their potential and enjoy healthy relationships with others are open to negative feedback. Constructive criticism is valuable. Those who listen to it with an open mind and then learn from it tend to grow more fully than those who are closed off and defensive. Rejecting all criticism as invalid is likely a sign of a blinding ego or low discomfort tolerance for making beneficial personal changes. Of course, it is also imprudent to go to the other extreme and assume all negative feedback is valid. The point is to be capable of taking accurate criticism and using it but not disturbing yourself when someone gives you invalid criticism. See full article

By Walter J. Matweychuk, Ph.D.
Many people if they are honest, will tell you that they are not as happy and satisfied with their lives as they would like to be.
