Creating a manualized cognitive restructuring program that is effective in helping people overcome thinking errors and self defeating behaviors is an art form that few have mastered.

The inquiry is, is it possible to go into the subconscious mind and actually change thoughts? The response is "yes" and the secret lies in Dr. David R. Hawkins book Power vs Force. The truth has energy that can get into the veil of self-imposed falsehoods and help people with these thoughts find the truth about them. That is, they are many times better than they think they are.

Developing a cognitive restructuring curriculum requires a deep understanding of the truth, otherwise the words that are written have no penetrating energy. In result false words fall off the page and on the floor. There they die and disintegrate and are forgotten along with millions of other untrue thoughts.

True thoughts can raise people to a greater self-esteem therefore false thoughts can depress. True thoughts contain a higher intelligence that excites energies that resonate at a frequency that people will be happy with it. It is this cognitive dissonance internalization that affects a change in faulty thinking.

For example after 30 years of working with domestic violence victims it is enlightening to sit in class and watch this self-actualization process take place. Many women who have been abused in some way look at themselves as cheap when in reality they are worth alot.

This reprogramming is manifested in their physical, mental and emotional excitement. The first and last manifestations for most are remarkable and long-lasting. Now we must|However let us} remember that cognitive restructuring counseling is an option given to you to change, we do not force, change is the responsibility of the client.

The biggest reason counseling programs are ineffective is because they arent structured properly and they contain little penetrating truth. The reason is that the writers lacked truth. A person may go to a psychotherapist for many years and still go without changing because the therapist does not have all the truth. Whereas the truth can have a permanent change on people in a matter of hours, the truth is what it is.
