Belief System - black or white?
Rose, I haven't been able to pull up the belief inventory on the sight either, figured I wasn't far enough along! I just have some things going on Rose, but it takes so much out of me to type it and it would be rather lengthy and it just drags me down further, so I'll just keep hanging on to it, until I get the strength. In the meantime, I keep changing the channels in my brain, to think of something more positive and take inventory of those things I have to be grateful for. Some of the other things on the belief inventory he gave me are
1. It is important to me that others approve of me.
2. I hate to fail at anything.
3. People who do wrong deserve what they get.
4. If a person wants to, he/she can be happy under almost any circumstance.
5. I usually put off important decisions.
6. Everyone needs someone he/she can depend on for help and advice.
7. I avoid things I cannot do well.
8. Frustrations don't upset me.
9. People are disturbed not by situations but by the view they take of them.
10. Just because something once strongly affects your life, doesn't mean it needs to do so in the future.
Again, there are 100 on here. It's not feasible to type them all. I randomly selected these.
To help you out a bit with your strengths: you are knowledgeable, have a great wit, hilarious at times, funny at others, well-spoken, inquisitive, determined, motivated to get better, a good cook (not a necessity they do make restaurants and prefab dinners), helpful, considerate, call them as you see them (an admirable trait in my opinion).... I'm sure your psychologist won't mind someone who has observed your strengths adding to your list! As I notice more in your posts, I'll try to jot them down and type them to you! Oh, you are encouraging and thanks for the encouragement!
