Ep. #60: Belief Denial

One of the things that comes up when we shine the spotlight on you and your thinking from the very start is something I call Belief Denial.This is something that has come up for me in my own work with my coach, and I've seen it come up for my clients, too.See, this work we do is a bit like an excavation. We are looking for what's happening internally for you in those moments when you are having a big reaction to something your child is doing or saying. We look at the feelings that arise in your body, and we look at the thoughts you have in those moments. We're looking for the obvious thoughts AND the undercover thoughts, and trying to pinpoint the ones that trigger the strongest feelings in your body.When we find those thoughts, our brain's response is to deny that we believe them. And then we layer all sorts of thoughts, all sorts of stories about ourselves on top of it. We deny that thought holds weight for us, and we make it mean something about us that it even showed up. We make ourselves feel worse about it, and that thought we don't like gets shoved back down instead of addressed.How do you break this cycle? Listen on for more.***Are you on my email list?
