What are Negative Core Beliefs?


12 years ago 0 1853 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
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.

A lay-off from work or a break-up could result in feeling unlovable or useless.

Have you ever experienced a negative core belief?  Where do you think it stemmed from?
