Sounds like a form of CBT.

Yep, for the uninitiated, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a standard and empirically-proven set of techniques used by many therapists to treat negative feedback loops (destructive self-criticism). It's basically a set of exercises to reframe one's thoughts.

There's a workbook (Mind over Mood 2e, Greenberger & Padesky, $18 on Amazon) that is often recommended.

I don't suffer from any kind of mental illness but even so have found CBT useful for managing my day-to-day emotions.

Seeing as he's said it's emotion based this is very unlikely.

oh the joys of name overloading. Wasn't sure what abbreviation you meant, went to google, was surprised...

To be fair, you're not expected to know random abbreviations from random fields of study. That said, if you're interested in emotion-based therapy you can check out http://istdpinstitute.com or http://www.iseft.org/ (they have global lists with therapauts).
