What are negative core beliefs?


13 years ago 0 121 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I am not on that section of the program yet, but I think I have one that I already aware of:
 
"Never trust anyone."
 
This makes me unwilling to share personal feelings with anyone or rely on anyone. 
 
I am not sure where it came from though.
 
I also tend to expect others to not deliver on promises (expecting them to be broken), and I don't expect to ever be paid back if I loan someone money. Because of this, I don't get too upset when promises are broken; and I loan money with no strings attached (not expecting repayment). I only loan as much money as I am willing to lose.

Members,

Core beliefs are what you believe about yourself, others, the world and your future. The formation of our core beliefs begin when we are young and are rooted in our experiences as children and adolescents.

Our core beliefs are usually unspoken or outside of our immediate awareness. They are often accepted as 100% true and rarely examined for accuracy.

Negative core beliefs are associated with many issues such as low self-esteem, self-worth, depression and anxiety.

A negative life event can activate negative core beliefs about the self, others, the world & the future.

Some examples include …

* A lay-off from work or a break-up could result in feelings such as feeling unlovable or useless

Have you ever experienced a negative core belief? Where do you think you formed them?
