You have to brainwash yourself into believing your rational beliefs. We need more videos like these. Defenetly helpful

[@aguywhohikes1271]

I will def make more, absolutely!

[@olivep7920]

Thank you so much for the support!

This elaboration of the book is great!
It would be also great to elaborate on the core fears and breaking them down. When I ask myself “ so would it be so bad to xxx and xxx?” And I can only think about” YES it would! “ …. and I am stuck 😆

Oliver has done a great video on that on this channel titled core fears.

The sleep example is spot on.

So Like I Get A Thought That I Might Not Achieve My Dreams? Like I Won't Be Able To Operate On My Patients ? So I Have To Accept It Unconditionally?
Thanks In Advance,Nick

[@aguywhohikes1271]

Hey buddy! Absolutely that's a huge part of it! And breaking down the fears of why it would be terrible to not achieve your dreams

[@annecampbell2891]

when i developed a fear of eye floaters one irational belief that came was i cant look up or down nor read a book because the floaters wont let me. It isnt here as much now but does come sometimes can i recover from this?

Hey Nik when you say you dispute 15 minutes a day what do you actually mean by that, like what do you tell yourself?

[@aguywhohikes1271]

Hey! So I will do one of the exercises a day, well in the beginning I did. I will find my core fear, which may take some trial and error, and go about bringing the fear down.

[@ady4068]

@@aguywhohikes1271 thanks for the advice. Whenever I am suffering in my mind I try to dispute but I try to stop my self. It's complicated 😂. Are you saying that you shouldn't dispute when going through your day but only in those 15 mins?

[@aguywhohikes1271]

@@ady4068 Yep! Never dispute walking around. That's how we use it as a tool to escape uncomfortable feelings.

Your a cool person
