It is the beliefs that lead to self-defeating consequences: Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) focuses on challenging/disputing irrational thoughts + replacing them with effective rational beliefs:
1. Logical disputing - does the belief make sense?
2. Empirical disputing - self-defeating beliefs may not be consistent with reality. Wheres the proof that the belief is accurate?
3. Pragmatic disputing - emphasises the lack of usefulness of self-defeating beliefs
