Understanding Truth Aids in Overcoming Faulty Thinking

<h1>Understanding Truth Aids in Overcoming Faulty Thinking</h1>

<div align=justify>Creating a manualized cognitive restructuring program that is effective in helping people overcome thinking errors and self-defeating conduct is an art form that few have mastered.

Is it possible to go into the subconscious mind and alter thoughts? YES! The secret lies in a book by Dr. David Hawken on truth vs. falsehoods. The truth has a power that has the ability to break through the veil of self-imposed false beliefs and help people find the truth about themselves. That is, help them realize they are so much greater than they believe they are.

Creating a cognitive restructuring curriculum requires a profound knowledge of the truth, if this is lacking the written words will have no penetrating energy.  In effect untrue words tumble off of the page and right onto the ground. There they curl up and die and are forgotten along with millions of other untrue words.

True words raise people to higher whereas untrue words can discourage. True words contain a force that excites energies that vibrate at a frequency that people accept. It is this cognitive energy that has the ability to change faulty thinking.

After years of helping victims of domestic hostility it is still enlightening to sit in class and  see this self-actualization process change lives. The majority of abused women believe that they have less value than they really do.  By the time they get to the 3rd or 4th session of applying true words, the truth starts to have its affect.

This reprogramming is shown in their physical, psychological and emotional exhilaration. The changes for most people are extraordinary and enduring. However let us remember that cognitive restructuring counseling is an invitation to change, not a force.  Change is the responsibility of the client. The main reason counseling programs are unsuccessful is because they are not structured appropriately and they contain little penetrating truth. This is because the person or people who wrote it lacked truth.  People can attend psychotherapy sessions for years and years and not change because the therapist is not aligned with the truth.  The truth has the ability to have a life-changing impact on people in only a matter of hours, but it must be available.</div>
