It could be just one or two thoughts challenged each time, but decrease general anxiety. For me, it are teaching to be more kind to myself, I finded that I talk to my self with very bad manners, because I feel frustated. My anxious thoughts made me loose a lot of things in life and situations.
Thank you for your support. At first day or two using the programm I already had benefits, I had a great saturday comparisin to previous ones that I was crying feeling alone and sad. Our brain capacity to learn is very strong (as program teaches), but from the good ad from the bad. I know I have much work ahead to change my pattern thoughts.
I´m monitoring my thoughts during the day about diferent issues, and I get surprised because"Oh my god, no one could be happy thinking all day like this".
I can trace the beginning of my first core belief to a birthday party I was invited to at the age of three. This is the only thing I can remember before five when I had the next traumatic thing in my life. It was my first day in school and I did not want to go. Most of my childhood was good so I remember only bits and pieces. Next trauma was at fifteen. I left school after it and shortly after left home. Some of my thought patterns flipped to negative and stayed with me for more than forty years. It is amazing how much people you trust can influence you and your thought patterns. Catastrophe can build catastrophic core beliefs around the idea of the actual catastrophe. Just as health trauma even if it is not your health issue but involved you can build a core belief around it. Any thing can build a core belief and many become negative and have to be changed. CBT does this.
Welcome, I've been here for 8-9 weeks and it's a really good program. There are many people on here who feel the same way. You're not alone in your thoughts. CBT retrains how you think and you learn coping strategies to help. I have learned through the forums there are no short cuts, but I didn't look for any. I have done my homework diligently. Today, I have to learn a new coping skill for a new feeling that arose. Don't be shy about using the forum. Someone might have gone through the same thing or have a suggestion that could help.
I´m at point 2 of the program, and I started to been aware that I have catastrofic thoughts as a lifestyle since my puberty and the unexpected dead of my dad. About my health, about my work, about my relations, so now I understand why I have panic attacks since then. I´m now 39, surviving this many years, but of course tired. All I did this years was study and work, didn´t had much joy of life like laughts with friends. I almost have no friends, because I´m difficult to relax in social life. Since my 30´s I only made one new friend and it was 3 months ago. It was possible because this friend are very extrovertid and did the job for me.
