"If I can get a little better, then I can get fully better."
How do individuals challenge long-held beliefs to transform their recovery journey? In this engaging episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, hosts Brad Schipke and Kayleen Wright introduce listeners to a powerful processing tool called 'Challenging Beliefs.' This tool is designed to help trauma survivors gently examine and shift the beliefs that trauma has ingrained in them. Instead of diving into emotional turmoil, the tool begins from a logical standpoint, allowing for a more measured approach to healing.
Brad and Kayleen guide you through the 'belief cycle,' a concept that illustrates how our beliefs drive actions and experiences, ultimately reinforcing those very beliefs. They highlight the importance of identifying and questioning negative beliefs, much like a courtroom trial, to weaken their hold. By dismantling these old beliefs, you create space for positive ones, reinforcing them with evidence and references from your own life.
The episode is packed with practical advice and personal anecdotes, such as Kayleen's story about her journey from rock bottom to full recovery. The hosts also offer a worksheet to assist in this process, making it easier for you to apply these concepts in your daily life. So, are you ready to challenge your beliefs and take the next step towards healing? Dive into this episode and discover how a logical approach can lead to emotional breakthroughs.
