Get Straight — Digital Facilitator Kit (REBT/CBT Group Activity)

Get Straight — Thought Wrestling Group Activity Kit is a full-color, interactive CBT/REBT recovery resource designed for counselors, therapists, treatment programs, recovery coaches, and behavioral health professionals who want a group activity clients can actually engage with.

Instead of just talking about distorted thinking, Get Straight turns it into something clients can see, hear, challenge, and practice.

The kit introduces three memorable thinking-error characters:

• The Con Artist — rationalizes, minimizes, bargains, and gives permission
• The Fire Alarm — catastrophizes, magnifies, and turns feelings into emergencies
• The Eject Button — shuts down, avoids, quits, and tries to escape discomfort

Clients learn to challenge these patterns using the 4 C’s: Catch, Check, Change, Choose and then practice those skills through the signature Thought Wrestling group activity.

Teams work from the same activating event, build opposing thought paths, argue the thoughts out loud, receive feedback from the group, identify the thinking pattern involved, and connect each thought to the feelings, urges, and behaviors that follow. The goal is not “positive thinking.” The goal is learning how to build thoughts that are more realistic, flexible, useful, and recovery-focused.
