Shradha has been desperately trying to get a job but she has not been successful in any job interview. Now, she is depressed and has developed the persistant negative thought that 'nobody likes her'. She believes that she must get an executive job in an MNC (Multi-National Company) to be loved by others. Which therapy would you suggest to her?

Rational emotive therapy

The correct answer is Option (4) → Rational emotive therapy

Shradha’s problem is marked by persistent negative thoughts such as “nobody likes me” and “I must get an executive job to be loved.” These are irrational beliefs. The therapy best suited for correcting such irrational and self-defeating thoughts is Rational Emotive Therapy (RET) by Albert Ellis. RET helps clients identify irrational beliefs, challenge them, and replace them with rational, positive thoughts.
