Agenda
Debrief
Change thought processes change behaviours you can change your emotions
When you feel like this its frustrating and can lead us to feeling helpless
So change thought and behaviours
Anx – emotion and physiological responses
Core beliefs how we interpret the world. -They feel real or absolute true to us
See and interpret the world even if you aren’t cognisant throughout the day
bi-directional fixed ideas about
ourselves about others and how they perceive you and the world or future and how you feel
about it
Core beliefs Permeate all areas of life so will come into play into relationships, friendships,
work, how you achieve goals, cultivate habits.
Core fundamental beliefs – self others world
Leads to assumptions – conditional rules that you create as a result of your core beliefs
Ex I am unworthy of positive experiences, reaching goals, if you feel this was deep down,
leading to conditional rules so overcompensate – if I try my best to be a people pleaser, they
will think I am worthy as a person,
Incapable – not effective at life, study, conditional rule might be try your best and act
independent and don’t tell them you find things challenging because then they will see you
are incapable.
SO these will lead to coping strategies – so if you feel incapable – constructive feedback and
then coping strategy might not take responsibility and argue
Core beliefs affect rules in life and how we respond to situations
Situation occurs. -leads to AT (images) and then this ultimately leads to actions
Incapable – bad things happen – either you will deflect or not want to talk about it, so then
what is the outcome from this, might get laid off, first thought will be I CANT DO ANYTHING
RIGHT IN LIFE (overgeneralisation)
Imagine if that was true how do you think you feel and what are some of the behaviours you
might engage in if that thought was true.
If you told someone about this they would tell you that everything is going to be find ---- not
want you want to hear --- and strengthen core beliefs
Not all core beliefs are negative –
Positive ones don’t cause distress- they are our strengths.
Start with AT conscious thought you had following situation
What does this thought mean if it was true?
Laddering identifies conscious thought
Eventually you get to a thought that’s more fundamental and will identify the core belief
that permeates our experience in life
Relationship role play
What would that signify for you
What we be so bad if you did something to upset him what thought do you have about
yourself that would make this idea so terrible
And what would that mean about you if you weren’t self-aware what would be so bad about
that
What would this mean about you if you were just floating through life really not sure what’s
happening when what would that mean about your life and yourself and your ability enact
positive outcomes
I am a failure CORE
Short hand universal short statement and universal, isn’t situational
What is the consequence – statement that could apply to you across situations
How does this thought impact areas of my life?
Enact behavioural experiment
CHALLENGE CORE BEBLEIFE
Behavioural experiments
Visualisation (heal inner child)
Create new narrative
Changing these from being persuasive more conditional rather then absolute.
