According to Albert Ellis, a Psychologically Healthy Response to an Unpleasant

According to Albert Ellis, a psychologically healthy response to an unpleasant or disappointing situation is to:

A) stay cheerful and optimistic, no matter how badly you feel, because anger and disappointment are irrational emotional responses.
B) respond with rational beliefs, experience appropriate emotions of disappointment or sadness, and constructively change or cope with the difficult situation.
C) contact your therapist immediately and ask him or her how to handle the situation.
D) ask your therapist to develop an anxiety hierarchy for you so that you are able to avoid similar situations in the future.
