WHAT ARE MY BELIEFS ABOUT MY BODY

Locating Negative Beliefs for Deletion and Rescripting
For use with Cognitive and Emotional Protocols

This is a space for self-reflection. There are no right or wrong answers. Be spontaneous.  Write down whatever immediately comes to mind, quickly, without reflecting or censoring.  If no answer comes, move on to the next question and return later for another try.

For each issue there is a different intake questionnaire so we can locate the underlying core issues and beliefs sustaining those issues.  Once we discover what the blocking and sabotaging beliefs, we can begin to delete them and the emotions attached to them and then rescript the deletions with the opposite polarity.
