Which REBT technique requires the client to record the therapy session and listen back before the next session to reinforce learning or gain insight?

• A. Time Projection
• B. Tape Recording Sessions
• C. REBT Skills Training
• D. Shame Attacking

Answer: (B)

This item tests using between-session learning through recording sessions. Tape-recording therapy sessions gives the client a concrete tool to review the therapist’s disputing and the client’s own automatic thoughts after the session. By listening back before the next meeting, the client can notice where irrational beliefs drive emotions, hear moments of cognitive distortion, and see how the therapist’s rational disputing was applied. Replaying the session reinforces learning, increases insight into thinking patterns, and helps the client practice applying REBT skills outside the session. Other options describe different REBT techniques that don’t involve reviewing a recorded session for insight, such as in-session skills training or exposure-type activities, or more general techniques that aren’t focused on the between-session review.
