Negative Core Beliefs are often hidden from view. Often
disguised; but masquerade as truths.

They live in the unconscious. Not easily touchable. They work
away in the hidden place doing their worst. They are uninvited
guests. They have over stayed their invitation; live rent free
and are doing damage, which adversely impacts quality of living
life. They need to be gone after and expelled.

Since you cannot change that which you cannot see - because they
live in the unconscious - you have to go hunting for them. Get
your hunting gear on. We are going hunting.

Remember 'C' first, then 'B' follows in CBT. Your
(C)ognitive will always lead to your eventual
(B)ehaviour. Don't try to first change the 'B'. Begin with
the 'C'. Negative Core Beliefs are a part of the 'C'.

You need to find them, recognise them, acknowledge them,
highlight them, then get ready to turf them out - as you progress
through the Change Process.

What are these 'Negative Core Beliefs'? They are an individuals
most central ideas and Beliefs about themselves (and can also be
about others and the world). They act as a lens through which the
person takes their vantage point - through which they view self,
life and experiences. They can be all encompassing. Very global.
Very rigid Beliefs.

Negative Core Beliefs are Harmful Core Beliefs. They lead to
Negative Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviours.
Examples are: 'I am a failure', 'I am weak', 'I am unloveable',
'No one likes me', 'I don't deserve....', 'People can't be
trusted'.

They are hard to own and accept that they have been bought into;
yet, they have been in residency for years, rent free (would you
believe it!)

Time to see them out; on their way; good riddance; hasta la
vista.

Understand that over time, keeping them going is arduous, labour
intensive (without knowing it) and leads to an increased desire
to self-soothe by 'Acting out'. That is why Negative Core Beliefs
are a big deal in the Recovery Process.
