Areas of inquiry
From emotional suffering to a wider study of mind and consciousness.
The REBT work remains clinically grounded. Alongside it, his writing also explores awareness and self-observation as a separate, optional field of personal inquiry rather than as a replacement for psychotherapy.
Emotional regulation
Anxiety, panic, guilt, shame, anger, perfectionism and the distinction between healthy and unhealthy negative emotions.
Neuroscience
Intersections between clinical psychiatry, psychotherapy, behaviour and contemporary thinking about the brain and mind.
Self-observation
Awareness of thoughts, bodily sensations and impulses as they arise, without confusing observation with judgement.
Consciousness
Philosophical questions about subjective experience, presence and the relationship between the observer and mental content.
Writing & education
Making psychological and psychiatric knowledge accessible through books, practical guides and educational projects.
“Pain belongs to life. The suffering we add ourselves does not have to.”
The book
The REBT Handbook
A practical English-language guide to emotional health, rational beliefs and inner stability, with structured exercises, worksheets, diaries and clear limits of self-help.
