My name is Randy, I'm currently practice chemical dependency counseling. I've recieved REBT training when the Institute offered it in Seattle last year. This depends on the belief about fustration in general and specific event whether internal or external. Randy, This is an excellent question. Frustration is neither an emotion or an activating even.
Frustration is a mind set that leads to emotions ranging from mild irritation to extreme anger.
Frustration involves concerning oneself with the fact that a goal is not being met. I hope that this information helps you.
