1.) When we get stressed out about the events in our life, it’s not so much the event that is actually causing stress. It’s actually our thoughts about the event that is causing us to suffer. Here’s how White Plains psychotherapist?Aviva Kamander puts it:
“Another example is a parent who calls an adult child daily. ?One person may think my parent cares for me deeply and wants to share the days experiences with me. Another person may believe the parent is clinging to me and therefore may feel annoyed or resentful about the daily phone calls. ?In each case the event is the same a daily phone call from a parent, it is the belief about the call that is different which leads to a different feeling about the interaction.”

Beliefs About Events
Ancient Stoics believed that inner calm and clear judgement could be attained through logic, reflection, and concentration. Albert Ellis the psychologist who developed rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and is generally considered to be one of the founders of cognitive behavioral therapy, was influenced by Stoic philosophers and recounts it is not the events we experience that distress us but our beliefs about these events.
