d. "Tell me about what you learned from the journaling you did this week."

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rational emotive behavior therapy is a psychological therapy that is a short term that helps in identifying these self-defeating empirical thoughts and believes about an individual, and question and challenge the rationality of these believes. It helps in exchanging the self-defeating thoughts to healthier belief and thoughts.

Discussing these thoughts such as eating and behavior and developing a reasonable approach is a goal of REBT.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.
