Crenças limitantes como se formam e o que fazer para modificá-las - Quero saber

Summary

In this video, the speaker explores the concept of beliefs and how they shape our lives. From childhood, we form beliefs through our experiences, and these beliefs—whether empowering or limiting—can either propel us toward success or lead to self-sabotage. Central beliefs are categorized into three types: helplessness, unloveability, and worthlessness. These beliefs influence our behavior and perceptions, often distorting reality. However, through psychotherapy, it’s possible to challenge and reframe dysfunctional beliefs, allowing individuals to develop healthier, more accurate perspectives of themselves and their potential.

Takeaways

• 😀 Beliefs shape our perception of the world and influence how we act in our everyday lives.
• 😀 Our beliefs form through our experiences and relationships, starting from childhood.
• 😀 Central beliefs are the core of what we think is possible or impossible in life.
• 😀 Positive beliefs propel us toward success, while negative beliefs can paralyze us or lead to self-sabotage.
• 😀 Beliefs act as a lens, often distorting our perception of situations, making us see them from an exaggerated or incorrect viewpoint.
• 😀 There are three main types of negative core beliefs: helplessness (desamparo), lack of love (desamor), and lack of worth (desvalor).
• 😀 The belief of helplessness involves thinking we are incompetent and destined to fail, leading to thoughts like 'I can't do it' or 'I'm a failure.'
• 😀 The belief of lack of love involves thinking we are undesired and unworthy of love, leading to feelings of rejection and isolation.
• 😀 The belief of lack of worth involves thinking we are insignificant or worthless, with thoughts like 'I'm nothing' or 'I'm trash.'
• 😀 Negative beliefs can create cycles of behavior (e.g., isolation) that reinforce those beliefs, distorting our reality even more.
• 😀 Through psychotherapy, dysfunctional beliefs can be challenged and replaced with healthier, reality-based beliefs.

Q & A

What are beliefs and how do they impact our lives?

Beliefs are the convictions we hold about what is possible or impossible, which shape our actions and perceptions. Positive beliefs motivate us, while negative beliefs can limit or paralyze us, sometimes leading to self-sabotage.

How do we develop beliefs in our early years?

From childhood, we develop beliefs based on our experiences and interactions with ourselves, others, and the world around us. These experiences shape our perceptions and lead to the formation of assumptions, rules, and patterns that become our central beliefs.

What are central beliefs, and how do they influence our actions?

Central beliefs are the core convictions about what is possible or impossible in life. These beliefs guide our behavior—beliefs in what's possible push us toward action, while beliefs in what's impossible can prevent us from attempting anything, sometimes even leading to self-sabotage to prove the belief true.

What is the difference between positive and negative beliefs?

Positive beliefs empower us to take action and achieve our goals, while negative beliefs create barriers and can hinder progress, leading to fear, hesitation, or a sense of inadequacy.

What are the three types of central beliefs mentioned in the video?

The three types of central beliefs are: Desamparo (helplessness), Desamor (lack of love), and Desvalor (lack of value). These beliefs can negatively affect a person's self-esteem and behavior.

What is Desamparo and how does it manifest in beliefs?

Desamparo refers to the belief in one's incompetence and the expectation of failure. People with this belief often think 'I can't do this' or 'I'm a failure.' These thoughts can prevent them from trying new things or taking on challenges.

How does the belief of Desamor affect a person?

Desamor is the belief that one is unworthy of love or is rejected by others. People with this belief may think 'I'm unlovable' or 'I will always be rejected,' leading to isolation and a distorted sense of reality regarding relationships.

What does the Desvalor belief mean and how does it influence behavior?

Desvalor involves believing that one has no worth or importance. Thoughts like 'I'm insignificant' or 'I'm nothing' can lead to isolation and withdrawal from social situations, as the person may feel they are not valuable to others.

How do beliefs influence a person's actions and outcomes?

Beliefs shape our actions, and our actions lead to outcomes that can reinforce or challenge our beliefs. For example, someone with a belief in Desvalor might avoid social interaction, reinforcing the belief of being unimportant when, in fact, their isolation leads to feelings of rejection.

Can negative beliefs be changed, and if so, how?

Yes, negative beliefs can be changed. This process often involves therapy, where new, more realistic beliefs are developed and reinforced. Over time, these new beliefs can replace the old ones, helping the person to improve their emotional well-being and behaviors.
