RATIONAL EMOTIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY UNTUK MENGURANGI SELF INJURY

Abstract

Self-injury is self-harming behavior that is carried out intentionally because you cannot
express your emotions without the intention of committing suicide. The subject in this study
was a 20 year old male counselee, with a disorder that often hurts himself. The subject does
this because he feels that nothing can calm his mind and understand his emotions. Rational
Emotive Behavior Therapy was used in this research because it can identify and change ir
rational thoughts through cognitive therapy with individual counseling services. This rese
arch is action research with two cycles. After the subject realizes that irrational thoughts are
the main cause, the subject is directed to good thoughts and a good outlet for emotions. The
results of this research are that REBT with cognitive techniques can be a means for subjects
to fight their irrational thoughts.
