Conceptual Map of Belief Series of Articles
Each article builds on the one before it.
- Core Beliefs (The Foundation): Deeply ingrained, rigid, and often unconscious assumptions about ourselves, others, and the world. They are often formed in childhood and taken as absolute truths, such as "I am unlovable," "I am helpless," or "The world is dangerous".
- Intermediate Beliefs (The Rules): Attitudes, rules, and assumptions that bridge core beliefs and automatic thoughts. They represent the "shoulds" and "if-then" statements we use to navigate life, such as "If I work harder than everyone else, I will be safe" or "I must be perfect to be accepted".
- Surface Beliefs/Automatic Thoughts (The Reaction): The immediate, quick, and often fleeting thoughts that flash through our minds in specific situations. These are often unexamined and directly fuel our emotions and behaviors, such as "My boss didn't say hi, she must be mad at me".
