Hello

I am new to this forum. I've been stuck in big rut the last 8 years triggered by suicide of a close friend and many other things going on in my life at the time. I've been having counselling, but have found this website to be very useful, possibly more so than counselling.

I have just recently become aware of some of my disempowering beliefs and I was just wandering if anyone had any tips for letting go of them! They mostly come from events in my childhood. I had replaced them with more empowering beliefs during my teenage years but the suicide of my friend seemed to bring back all my old negative beliefs.

Is there anyway for permanently getting rid of old unhelpful beliefs and having new useful ones? I think just questioning and becoming aware of my beliefs has helped but I'd just be interested in other peoples experiences with beliefs.

I suppose one disempowering belief I need to change is that my old beliefs can resurface in an instant.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the subject.
