Our Services
The suffering of self-critical thoughts are often believed to find their origin in what Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) calls core beliefs, which are global and longstanding “truths” of how we see ourselves, others, and the world.
These beliefs are often based on life experiences and conditionings, rigidifying over time into a theme of oneself that may sound something like “I'm inadequate” or “I don't belong” in the case of social anxiety. Once formed, such distorted and unhelpful core beliefs often contribute to a pattern of perceiving, thinking, and responding to others and social situations in ways that further perpetuate their assumed reality and inherent suffering.
