271. REBT Returns To Jealousy

[@OCDadal]

I love these, I am a psychologist from Prague studying under Avy Joseph and his CCBT institute in London, currently in my first year of the REBT diploma course - I absolutely love REBT! It's literally the best thing that ever happened to me and it helped me immensely with my OCD. I love listening to your channel, keep these up, please. Pavel from Prague.

My mum recently passed away and her passing brought back all the feelings I have about the unfair way she treated me in comparison to the way she treated my two brothers. I realise that my iB was that she should have treated me fairly, which of course is irrational because there is no reason why she should have, although it would have been preferable. Also I should have received as much love from my mother as my brothers did, which of course there is no reason why I should have. I also think I was jealous of my brothers for receiving more of my mothers love than I did. I think my iB here was that my brothers shouldn't have received more love than I did. Probably also in the mix is that life should be fair, which is irrational because, firstly, life so obviously isn't fair (you only have to look around you to see that) and two my mothers unfair treatment towards me really has nothing to do with life, does it? The world is not a rotten place just because of my mums unfair treatment towards me.
