Dear Derek:

You noticed once again an activation of a core belief and the anxiety attached to it. Fear was triggered and certain physiological processes took place immediately, raising your body temperature, preparing you to fight or flight, the two activities animals do when scared.

Information about your core belief about education (there are more core beliefs, of course) is in what you were taught about education, as a child. You mentioned your mother’s input. What did she teach you about the value of education?

And more importantly, what did she teach you about love, her love for you?
