Just feel good, bro

REBT has helped me put away much of my neurosis of last two decades in a mere matter of days.

REBT only goes so far, however, as it basically helps you normalize your emotions so to speak (my desire is normalized, for instance, and self-worth is basically nullified). Makes you a well-functioning adult in society. It is a good tool to whittle away the social identity to a large extent.

It looks like I have projected this ‘inner mother’ onto you Vineeto, an authority still

Funny you say that because this is also what I did, in the last two years in particular, and it all came crashing down recently. Then I learned to think for myself, and I quite like it. I still value Vineeto’s perspective, of course, but at the same time independent intelligent thinking has begun replacing authority/ trust/ faith/ belief.
