Negtive Core Beliefs V


16 years ago 0 577 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0

People aren't that text book simple...none of us are consumed by "negative ciore beliefs". We each have a modicum of negative and positive. A professional lifetime of exploring CBT and DBT have taught me that the only significant positive and lasting outcome is from friendship, partnership and empathy which tis site gives in bucketsful, forget the reflective stuff....it's 90% rubbish !!

Best regards, lilly

Alohakeia,
 
For some, quitting smoking can trigger different emotions, thoughts, and feelings. It can also sometimes be difficult to remain positive while going through a tough time. This exercise is intended to promote positive core beliefs and personal growth.
Hopefully this helps!

Members,

Once you’ve identified your negative core beliefs you can begin to challenge and change them. This means that you’ll be challenging the source of your depression. However, in order to challenge your negative core beliefs you need to identify and test out some new positive core beliefs.

Instead of focusing on the negative core beliefs you have about yourself, the world, other people and the future, we’re going to get you to focus on developing new and more positive core beliefs. In order to do that, we want you to think about how you’d like to be, how you’d like the world and other people to be, what you’d like the future to look like.

As the first step towards developing more positive core beliefs we’d like you to ask yourself these following questions.

Questions about Yourself

1. What would you like to be like?

2. What kind of person would you like to be?

3. How would you like to behave?

4. What would you like to believe about yourself?

5. How would you be acting differently if you believed that about yourself?
