Belief Therapy Volume I, Revision I: A Guide to Enhancing Everyday Life

Belief Therapy Volume I Revision One: A Guide to Enhancing Everyday Life shines light on how to become aware of our conscious and unconscious beliefs. We can be free from these limiting ideas and create our lives, as we choose, in the present.

Freud said, "the unconscious must become conscious."

In this he was right, we cannot change that of which we are unaware. Choice and freedom come through awareness. Without awareness, we are destined to repeat the same self-defeating behaviors and experience the negative emotions created by forgotten, irrational beliefs.

Our first beliefs developed in early childhood. Hence, why they have such a powerful effect on our lives. It is just these beliefs that are likely to be unconscious, unexamined, and irrational. As children, we accept these beliefs as truths, and then feel and act accordingly. If our childhood beliefs or ideas are not examined, they become a basis for our adult experience. The beliefs confirm limiting attitudes we hold about ourselves, strengthening them in our everyday life.

Dr. DeGoede is a licensed clinical psychologist who developed Belief therapy, a concept that goes beyond cognitive therapy. During his fifty years of providing mental health services to a diverse population, he wanted to provide a therapeutic methodology that could be adapted into every aspect of someone's life. He has devoted his adult life to communicating the necessary principles of a life of quality. Dr. Degoede believes, "To have freedom, pleasure and quality in our life, it is first necessary to explore the inner world of our own beliefs."
