1. Understanding Limiting Beliefs: Where They Come From & Why They Stick
Participants will explore:
How early experiences, expectations, and fear shape personal narratives
The difference between surface-level beliefs and core beliefs
How beliefs drive behaviour, emotion, self-esteem, and decision-making
Why the brain clings to old stories, even when they’re unhelpful
This provides the foundation for meaningful change.
2. Cognitive Distortions: How the Mind Distorts Reality
Attendees learn to recognise the mental filters that distort perception, such as:
All-or-nothing thinking
Catastrophising
Mind reading
Emotional reasoning
Overgeneralisation
These distortions often fuel anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking.
3. The “Evidence vs. Assumption” Method
A simple but powerful technique that helps participants separate:
actual facts
imagined fears
emotional predictions
untested assumptions
inherited beliefs
This exercise often produces immediate mindset shifts.
4. Reframing Tools: Turning Limiting Beliefs Into Empowering Narratives
Participants learn practical reframing structures, such as:
“What else could be true?”
“What is the balanced view?”
“If I were coaching a friend, how would I reframe this?”
“What belief aligns with who I want to become?”
This turns insight into action.
5. Guided Inner Narrative Reset
A short but powerful reflective segment where participants rewrite one major limiting belief into a grounded, empowering truth aligned with their future self.
