hi I would be predominately socio... I would be devasated when fired because of the relationships that would be affected by the change, and those that would be broken. But I have had the leasure to think about the way I think ...
I see a category as a starting point in self-comprehension. We need vocabulary and we think in opposites so theories are usualy either or. People are much more fluid and are a combination of the two categoies but the vocabulary is a point-de-depart.
From what little I've read (I mean little); I don't think Beck meant these categories to be mutually exclusive. I think we can have negative core beliefs and as you stated, our disposition will determine how we handle certain life events. So I can have negative core beliefs in both areas, autonomous and sociotropic, but the particular event will determine which of set of negative core beliefs are used in response to a particular situation. I may need to work on negative core beliefs about self, world/others and future in both categories: autonomous and sociotropic.
I think a person can have negative core beliefs in both areas but may be predominantly one or the other - though I'd have a tough time figuring out which one is predominant in me.
I think I challenged my core beliefs by first of all being aware of what they are...identification! Then I try to figure out how they are effecting me - negative core belief; positive core belief (makes me feel good about me/my life or not). Then I decide if I need to take ownership of the issue or if it really is someone elses issue. lol, that is as far as I've got, I just started session 4.
Oh, can you be autonomously sociotropic? (serious question).
Try to change the way you view yourself, or the way your view yourself in a certain situation. Challenge your negative thoughts, and challenge your negative core beliefs.
What are some ways that you could challenge these beliefs?
