Anxiety is often linked to past traumas. Remember, a trauma is not necessarily a major life-changing event. Trauma can be negative messaging we receive in our family or from someone we love or admire.

Some common negative core beliefs that lead to anxiety might be;

“𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡”: This belief can lead to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, and can cause anxiety in situations where we feel we need to prove ourselves.

“𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬” – Believing that we have no control over our lives or circumstances can lead to feelings of anxiety and helplessness. Or a pattern of giving control to others leads to a sense of powerlessness as well.

“𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞” – This belief can lead to a constant state of anxiety, as we are always on high alert for potential threats or danger.

“𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞” – Believing that we are inherently flawed or that our efforts will always fall short can lead to feelings of anxiety and self-doubt.

“𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞” – Believing that we are unworthy of love and affection can lead to anxiety in social situations and in relationships.
