Dear Jim?Jamie:
Thank you for your sentiment about wishing that morning in 1983 was what i normally experienced at “home.” i wish it was so.

I too live around nature and enjoy the sounds in the morning, not including the Beagles barking from the neighbor’s house.

Regarding your “defective” core belief and the fear of rejection based on that core belief, I sure hope you make progress with it. In my experience, having shared that core belief of being defected and therefore rejectable, still in the process of dis-believing it, I found that it is only within a safe enough relationship with another person that I could heal it. In my experience… my child-part/ inner child has been so scared for so long that no way is it coming out of its hiding place unless is it absolutely sure it is not going to be rejected. No amount of self help books or thinking logically was going to do it. It has been only the very experience of being accepted and loved (for a long time) that could convince my child part that she will not be rejected.

What do you think? How can you change your defective/ rejectable core belief?
