Show Notes
In this episode, we explore how the core beliefs we carry about ourselves in adulthood can often be formed in response to childhood trauma - not because they were true, but because they helped us survive.
By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to:
- Understand what core beliefs are and how they form as adaptive survival responses
- Reframe beliefs like “I don’t matter” as protective strategies rather than personal flaws
- Recognise the environments that made these beliefs necessary
- Identify clear steps to help you form new core beliefs
