Editing Low frustration tolerance (section)

==Overview==
Ellis alternatively described low frustration tolerance (LFT) as discomfort anxiety.<ref>The Essential Albert Ellis, 1990, p111</ref> He said it was the main irrational belief that young children probably develop.<ref>The Essential Albert Ellis, 1990, p32</ref> He said it could be helped by a form of exposure therapy (staying with the discomfort).<ref>The Essential Albert Ellis, 1990, p103</ref> Some REBT writers characterise LFT as "I can't stand it", arising from intolerance of discomfort, and resulting in effects such as  procrastination and short-range hedonism. They contrast it with High Frustration Tolerance (HFT), characterised by accepting (although not necessarily liking) a situation and choosing to persevere in it.<ref>Chapter 9, REBT Theory and Practice, MacLaren, Doyle, DiGuiseppe, publ Sage.</ref>
