I want to learn to keep undesired emotions under control.
External influences can cause stress and give rise to emotions, but you're the most decisive factor with regard to your stress. The basic principle of the RET method is that it's not the situations themselves, but the way you think and feel about those situations, that determines the level of stress you experience. We all have emotions, whether we show them or not. RET training focuses on changing yourself by changing your thoughts. RET can help you cope better with difficult situations. By gaining insight into your thoughts and the impact they actually have, you've already made a big step towards this change.

You want to start this course on putting things into perspective because you, just like almost everyone else, sometimes have to cope with stressful situations. Situations when your emotions take over. Situations when you don't behave as you'd like. Situations when you get angry, quickly irritated, or even very sad. You want to gain control over these emotions so that they are less of a problem for you. But as soon as these emotions take hold, you can't let go of the anger or irritation. You start worrying or constantly blame yourself. It can make you pretty miserable because it takes an incredible amount of – negative – energy. If this is the case, it's time to do something about it. And you can. You can get a handle on your emotions. You want to reduce your stress. RET is a method that can help you cope with this type of stress.
