Values and beliefs are two things you will find yourself talking about should you attend sessions with a coach, counsellor, or psychotherapist. Why beliefs and values are so important in therapy
They are both invaluable tools for: understanding who you are
deciphering why you have made the decisions you have in life
learning how to make choices that suit you better
moving forward in life in ways that feel good. So how are beliefs and values different, and why does it matter? What are beliefs? Beliefs, often called ‘ core beliefs ‘ in therapy, are the assumptions you have made about yourself and the world at large. Beliefs are formed from our past experiences. As a child your brain registered your experiences as the way things must always work – a sort of personal doctrine.
