Imagine being about 6 years old when you ask a friend to play with their toy. He or she says, “No.” As an adult, you know that if this scenario has happened to you in your life, it’s because 6-year-olds are basically selfish and don’t know how to share. However, as a 6 year old, you wouldn’t have known that was the real reason. As a way of making sense of the nonsense, you may have adopted a negative belief about yourself, in relation to the situation. In other words, you may have suggested to yourself that “I’m not good enough.” However, “I’m not nice.”

This interpretation may have meant little, except when later a parent says “No” and a teacher says “No.” Now, one can begin to use this random life experience to support this mistaken set of beliefs that “I’m not good enough” or “I’m not nice.”

Within adolescence, a teacher can say “No” or a date can say “No.” Now, as one enters early adulthood, one cannot just think these things to be true, but one can begin to feel them to be true. the beliefs we hold feel Being true tends to guide our actions. If we feel that it is true that “I am not worthy” and “I am not likable,” we are probably not going in a direction that is consistent with our desires.

the things that we feel Being true, they tend to guide our actions, since we allow things to happen and do things, according to beliefs. Although these beliefs seem to offer an explanation, however, their claims are not true. However, it may initially be difficult to believe otherwise, as these initial beliefs seem to offer a plausible explanation. However, the truth, based on the wealth of other life experiences, insists that despite what has happened, “I am worthy” and “I am likable.” In large part, therapy is a way to resolve disturbing memories, in order to release mistaken beliefs. As a result, one can finally begin to accept the truth that “I am worthy” and “I am likable.” These new and healthier perspectives begin to guide you in the more positive direction of your intentions.
