This document discusses how past experiences can lead to core beliefs and critical incidents that form a cycle of problematic thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and body sensations when triggered. These cycles are maintained through the interaction of past experiences shaping core beliefs, which influence thoughts and behaviors when triggered, perpetuating negative emotions and physical sensations.
