How Does the CBE Process Work?
What is Core Belief Engineering?
Core Belief Engineering (CBE) is an effective psychotherapy that searches
out and changes consciously and subconsciously held core beliefs that
result in unhealthy and undesirable behaviours. A CBE practitioner guides
individuals through a gentle, questioning process to restructure new beliefs
that lead to an increased ability to make conscious choices. The results
are thorough and long lasting. CBE is successful with many symptoms and
problems.
The Core Belief Engineering approach is based on the observation that
the subconscious mind is a multitude of "parts", each one containing
a unique aspect of the whole personality with its own function and belief
system.
We look at beliefs in particular because CBE holds as its premise that
your reality is a result of your beliefs. For example, one part may be
responsible for preventing you from feeling confident. The part might
believe that to have confidence is to be egotistical therefore that part
will not allow you to feel proud of your accomplishments. The result is
you feel like you never move forward with your life and pursue interests
or goals.
Core Belief will assist you to search out unwanted beliefs and update
to them to reflect and support the life you would like to live.
"No Matter what
I do - I can't seem to change"
A part can develop at anytime although major beliefs may be in place by
the time we are five or six years old. As a young child we are trying
to survive and make sense of a world which is not always logical. To do
this we often take on the beliefs of our family and our culture; while
we have developed our beliefs from our own experiences there is a great
percentage that has been inherited.
Problems can occur when childhood beliefs held
in the subconscious remain and do not develop and mature as the person
learns. This can lead to conflict when our outdated parts' beliefs are
in opposition to our present beliefs. The result is internal conflict,
repetitive patterns, stress and a feeling of being stuck.
Many have tried to change reactions or behaviour through analysis, problem
labeling, self help books or affirmations but find there is little long
lasting success because the beliefs that lie underneath the thought or
action have not been changed.
