Core beliefs (universal beliefs) create thoughts (situational) which create moods and drive behaviors (both desirable and undesirable behaviors). (Core beliefs are about Self, Others, and The World in General). Behaviors are “above the waterline” … they are visible and easily seen/known. Moods, thoughts, and beliefs are “below the waterline” … likely “out of our awareness” … and when emotions are strong … easy not to see. Like an iceberg … those things below the waterline can be more powerful than what’s visible. “The hidden things” do create our thoughts, mood, and behaviors. Therefore, if we can gain insight into our beliefs and thoughts - - we can gain more control over our mood and behaviors.
In this slide we have a woman who is in treatment for PTSD, suffered from a serious dog attack when she was 4 years old. She is tired of constantly being frightened every time a dog is audible or visible, no matter how little a threat the dog actually is. She is tired of avoiding places and events all because of her fear.
Obviously her mood is anxious and fearful.
Her core beliefs give her and the therapist insights into “flawed” thinking. Her thoughts for a given encounter, are clearly aligned to her beliefs.
