Creating a manualized cognitive restructuring program that is effective in helping people overcome faulty thinking errors and self defeating behaviors is an art form that few have mastered.
The question is, is it possible to go into the subconscious mind and actually change thoughts? The answer is yes and the secret lies in Dr David Hawken’s book on truth vs falsehoods. The truth has energy that can penetrate the veil of self imposed falsehoods and help people find the truth about themselves. That is, they are many times better than they think they are.
Developing a cognitive restructuring curriculum requires a deep understanding of the truth, otherwise the written words have no penetrating energy. In effect untrue words fall off the page and on the floor. There they die and disintegrate and are forgotten along with millions of other untrue words.
True words can lift people to a higher calibration whereas untrue words can depress. True words contain a higher intelligence that excites energies that resonate at a frequency that people will accept it. It is this cognitive disonance internalization that affects a change in faulty thinking.
For example after 30 years of working with domestic violence victims it is enlightening to sit in class and watch this self actualization process take place. Most abused women see themselves as $2.00 women where the truth is they are really an $8.00 or $10.00 woman.By the 3rd or 4th session of applying true words delivered through a correctly structured cognitive restructuring program, the truth begins to have its affect.
This reprogramming is manifested in their physical, mental and emotional exhilaration. The before and after manifestation for most are remarkable and permanent. However let us remember that cognitive restructuring counseling is an invitation to change, not a force, change is the responsibility of the client.The main reason counseling programs are ineffective is because they aren’t structured properly and they contain little penetrating truth. The reason is that the person(s) who wrote it lacked truth. People can go to psychotherapy for years and not change because the therapist is not aligned with the truth. Whereas the truth can have a permanent impact on people in a matter of hours, the truth is what it is.
