flamingsword: The word THERAPY in front of a Paul Signac painting (Therapy)
Core beliefs are the deeply ingrained beliefs that serve as filters through which we judge and process information. All of our distorted thoughts are the product of one or more of such beliefs. This technique asks us to keep asking ourselves, "What would that mean if it were true?" until we get to the core belief at the bottom of the distorted thought. If necessary, consult earlier exercises to note beliefs that often contribute to stress. Also, remember that many people need a therapist's help to assist with this for a period of time.
