The first thing I would do is recognize that "this is hardwired -- it's a deep belief that's hard to reach" is, itself, a belief. And a belief is a thought. And thoughts can be let go of.
You can "watch" how attached you are to a thought. For instance, maybe you're thinking something like, "she doesn't understand.... this belief is part of me; it's Who I Am." That's a habitual negative thought pattern. You have been believing your thoughts for so long that you think they're who you are. But Who You Are is not What You Think. (What you think is not what you are.) I know, I know, it's hard to really *get* that, when you've been practicing believing the opposite for most of your life. But think of the price you've paid for believing your thoughts. Think of the price you've made other people pay because you've been believing your thoughts as if they were The Truth.
And take a look: what is the thought that underlies all of this? What do you really believe about yourself, that you hold on so tightly to "I can't be satisfied"?
