Course Description

We have thoughts going through our minds constantly. From an evolutionary standpoint, many of our thoughts are centered on safety and ensuring that our needs are met. As a result, we often respond to our environment using our primitive brains, which are programmed to scan for danger and react accordingly. The stories we tell ourselves about our lives can lead to thoughts and feelings that may not be helpful. When we are operating from a place of fear or insecurity, the way we perceive the world changes. As an example, if a person constantly thinks that they are not “good enough”, how they interface with their family, friends, and work environment will be very different from someone who thinks that they are “enough”, “lovable,” or “capable”. Sometimes, these self-limiting beliefs are so deep-seated, we don’t always realize they are there. Many limiting beliefs and cognitive biases are passed down from our caregivers during childhood, from our cultures/traditions, or from current pop culture and social media. Some of them come from our memories of past events and out interpretations of them.
