Questions About Your Story

(1) Is there actual truth in each point of the story that you wrote about yourself? If so, why do you believe that it is true? How do you know that it is true?

(2) If you believe that these points are all made up and your story is not true, when do you believe that story began in your life?

(3) Was there a particular instance(s) that caused this thought/belief to show-up?

(4) Do you remember when you first started thinking these thoughts? Were you in school? Were you a young child? A pre-teen? A teenager? An adult?

(5) Is what you wrote about in your story something that you have been thinking about for years? Can you remember when it first started?

(6) I would like you to prove how the thought/belief that you have written is actually true in your eyes? What facts do you have from your life to prove that this belief is true? For example:

- If you are saying that you are not very smart, do you have a job? Are you or have your been in school? You were smart enough to buy this book and read it up until this point, so how are you not smart?

- If you wrote that you are fat, but you know that your actual weight is not considered overweight for your height, then when did this “story” become real to you? If you are overweight for your height, have you always been? If not, when did you put on the weight? Do you have any idea as to why you put the weight on? Is it something that you are concerned about and would like to change? Why or why not? If you have always been overweight why do you feel that you have been? Is it something that you are concerned about and would like to change? Why or why not?

- If you wrote that you are not good enough, in what aspect of your life did this feeling of not being good enough show up? When did this feeling come up for you? How in your eyes is it true?

- If you wrote that, skinnier people are smarter, more accomplished and successful, who told you that? Can you name some individuals who are not necessarily skinny who are smart, accomplished and successful?

I am asking you these very important questions because oftentimes we become so accustomed to simply believing in exactly what ED says to us. Yet, through breaking down his story about us and questioning each of his ideas about who he has convinced us to think that we are and trying to prove them wrong, we can find that there is really no accuracy in his ideas about us. Rather, his ideas are fabrications of the truth based on particular instances that have happened in our lives, which he has misinterpreted.

In the excerpts that I shared with you about my past, you were able to read about some experiences that I went through while I was growing up.
