Core beliefs are deeply ingrained beliefs we hold about ourselves. There are several common types of negative core beliefs. If you struggle with self-doubt or low self-esteem, it can be helpful to understand what is happening behind the scenes. Core beliefs are strengthened over time through biased information processing. It can be helpful to identify these beliefs so that we can take the next step to reshape them into more accurate and adaptive beliefs.
