A combination of client-centered therapy, cognitive therapy, and sarcasm, designed by Albert Ellis. REBT acts to remove unreasonable cognitive beliefs, for example, musterbation. Its basic premise is that emotional suffering is due primarily to the often unverbalized assumptions and demands that people carry around with them as they negotiate their own way in life; for example, demanding perfection in oneself and/or in others.
REBT has been shown to reduce self-reports of anxiety in general and specific forms; reduce type A behavior patterns; reduce depression, anger, and, in children, antisocial behavior; and help emotionally healthy people cope better with everyday stress.

Get the his therapy was going nowhere mug.The act of brotherly bonding while under the influence of marijuana. Group Therapy may be accomplished under the influence of various other drugs, but, cocaine's tendency to make you an insufferable prick, meth-amphetamine's tendency to make you a different variety, but still equally annoying, kind of prick, and heroin's general shittiness make weed the drug of choice. During a Group Therapy session, it is common for parties to have stoned revelations, confessionals, or general break downs. Like all stoned endeavors, group therapy should be accompanied with a liberal quantity of nutella, cheetos, and whatever the hell else you can find, so long as there is enough for everyone, lest your Group Therapy Session turn into a pissing match over the cheetos.
Etymology - The concept of a group bonding in a "therapy" session, however, typically this can be achieved without the aid of drugs. The basis for the use of this expression in the context of drugs however, stems from an album cover for the album "group therapy" by "dope". Connect the fucking dots.
