You are probably already familiar with
two of the most common reaction patterns "Fighting" and "Fleeing".
But almost as common are many other 'F' reactions like "Staying but
Folding" or "Forget the Whole Thing" or Freezing.
Your F reaction patterns are the easiest
part of the whole process to look at, so they are the best place to
start work.
Ready?

Typical over-reactions - the 'F' patterns
3. Getting out of the old reaction
patterns
You can't change the belief that causes
the over-reaction but you can change the reaction patterns
themselves. Your triggered F reaction is the one part of the whole
process that you can observe clearly particularly if it's happening
over and over again.
At this point there are a couple of warnings
about how not to go about it. It's no good trying to "change" beliefs or or
get rid of them totally. I will explain as I go why that cannot
happen, and why there is a far better way that works. First let's
see if I can explain a bit about what core beliefs are, where they
come from, what they do. and why they do it.

Examples of negative core beliefs - is yours on
this list?
4. Getting to know
Your Core Beliefs
Where did they come from?
Why they came into your life?
Strange as it may seem as soon as you begin appreciating the way
they helped you as a child they begin to lose some of their
intensity.
The self-fulfilling prophecy trap
At this point you can start to understand what is underneath your individual
reaction patterns.

"Is
it really safe for me to change? Am I ready?"
Please read this page before
you go too far with making changes -
Making changes in your life using the methods described in these
pages is great , but only if you feel ready to change. And that
includes self assurance about change itself. It's better not to make
changes until you feel really confident about them and their effect
on your life. The methods we describe here do work, but the
changes can be fast and powerful. It's important to understand what
is going to happen before you begin. Then you can make your changes with
confidence.

THE FULL CORE BELIEF STORY and WORKBOOKS NOW AVAILABLE by e-mail |
| |
The whole process of identifying your own negative core beliefs and then
balancing them is a very individual matter. There are no general rules, no
standard step by step approach. If there was I would print it here.
To achieve success also requires some time and thought on your part. I have
found it works best for people who are serious about this to do the work
step-by-step in their own time.
If you would you like to :
1. Discover your own hidden troublemakers and identify your own negative core
beliefs
2. Find out how to balance your negative beliefs with positive ones. It's easy
once you know why you need to balance them (and why you must not try to get rid
of them altogether)
3. Avoid getting triggered again as you have in the past

Acknowledgments -
I gratefully acknowledge the valuable help and understanding I received while
writing about Belief Systems, firstly from Nikki Nemerouf and Jeffrey Young and
also from John Falcon and Sergei Gorski for their guidance and valuable additions
to my understanding. I emphasise that
the following pages do not follow precisely the core belief, core schema or core
profile models as taught by any one of these outstanding teachers. However, many
of the ideas on this website are clearly based on their original work and the
training I did with them.
From that point I have introduced some alternate concepts,
in particular the connection between core belief work and the psychology of
the inner selves (voice dialogue) as taught by Dr. Hal and Dr. Sidra Stone. I
have found that dialoguing with the beliefs themselves as "characters" inside
us is one of the most useful skills (often the critical factor) in clarifying,
and balancing old core beliefs.
I thank Earl Cass and Anthony Nutting for their support and
expert suggestions and my thanks to my ex-wife and friend Rozz Nutting for
permitting me to include extracts from her own book on the core belief
process.
With appreciation - John Nutting

A Self Awareness site to help Men and Women
overcome the toxic influence of their Inner
Patriarch and Inner Matriarch
www.growingaware.net
Self awareness and self
empowerment can work differently for women and men.
At the heart of these differences
are two extremely dangerous inner selves - the Inner Matriarch and the Inner
Patriarch. They fight each other constantly and they encourage fights
between men and women. The only thing they have in common is that they are
both dedicated to keeping all men and
all women out of loving,
successful grown-up relationships at home, at work or
anywhere else.
We all have an Inner Patriarch and an Inner Matriarch
inside us but there is much we can do to reduce their toxic influence.
