Overview

Belief Therapy Volume I Revision One: A Guide to Enhancing Everyday Life shines light on how to become aware of our conscious and unconscious beliefs. We can be free from these limiting ideas and create our lives, as we choose, in the present. Freud said, ""the unconscious must become conscious."" In this he was right, we cannot change that of which we are unaware. Choice and freedom come through awareness. Without awareness, we are destined to repeat the same self-defeating behaviors and experience the negative emotions created by forgotten, irrational beliefs. Our first beliefs developed in early childhood. Hence, why they have such a powerful effect on our lives. It is just these beliefs that are likely to be unconscious, unexamined, and irrational. As children, we accept these beliefs as truths, and then feel and act accordingly. If our childhood beliefs or ideas are not examined, they become a basis for our adult experience. The beliefs confirm limiting attitudes we hold about ourselves, strengthening them in our everyday life.
