What if the biggest obstacle to your growth is something you believe to be true?
In this episode of Kenosis Conversations, we explore one of the most common barriers to progress in therapy: deeply held beliefs that feel like facts, but aren’t. From “I know they don’t love me” to “I need to fix everything,” these thoughts can quietly shape our emotions, relationships, and identity.
Together, we unpack:
- Why beliefs and feelings are not facts
- How language like “always,” “never,” and “should” increases stress and limits growth
- The hidden cost of holding onto certain beliefs, especially in relationships
- How small shifts in wording can create powerful changes in mindset
- The role of cognitive distortions in anxiety, conflict, and identity
- Why challenging a belief can feel scary—and why it’s often worth it
You don’t have to stay stuck in patterns of thinking that make you unhappy. If you’re ready to examine your thoughts, reshape your beliefs, and build a more fulfilling life and relationships, this conversation is for you.
