Title: Managing stress by changing beliefs at the subconscious level
Biography
Biography: Sandra Thebaud
Abstract
Dr. Albert Ellis, a prominent Psychologist, proposed the ABC model of depression. The A stands for Activating Event, which can be anything from losing your keys to getting yelled at to bad weather. The B stands for Belief. The C stands for Consequence (feeling depressed). But two people can experience the same activating event and have a different consequence. As Dr. Ellis explains, this is because we don’t realize that the consequence is really dependent on our belief and not the activating event. We all have beliefs that control our day to day lives. These beliefs either serve to support and nurture us or limit and restrict us. Here are some examples of limiting and supporting beliefs around stress: Stress is bad / I can’t take this anymore / This is overwhelming me / I can do this / I know how to relax / I know how to process stress with grace and ease. The good news is that our beliefs are completely under our control. This is the key to managing stress and changing our lives. We have the ability to change our subconscious beliefs from negative, limiting ones to empowering, positive ones through a mind/body alignment. PSYCH K is one such process. It’s easy, highly effective, and painless.
