Martha, wonderful article about changing faulty beliefs! Thank you. Sometimes my clients are surprised when I tell them that they don’t have to rinse and repeat their childhood patterns. As adults, we have some choice as to what we believe and how we want to live our lives. So empowering when we allow allow this awareness to sink in.

Exactly. We make those beliefs because of difficult experiences, which we all have……so this is a universal thing. I am careful not to bypass people’s real issues, or my own! The trauma is what we tell ourselves about what happened., and that can change, to something neutral, not “It’s all good.” 😖
