Ik heb al veel mensen verteld over de 5 negatieve basisgeloven waar ik er nog maar 4 van wist. Dus ik schreef even naar degene die me dit verteld had. Hier zijn ze allemaal. Waardevol genoeg om hier even te bewaren.

The negative beliefs corresponding to the 5 characterology types used by Reich and the Core Energetics community are as follows:

Schizoid: I do not have the right to exist. To exist in the physical is to be annihilated.
Oral: I am not complete. I am not enough. There will never be enough.
Masochist: I will be invaded. If I express myself I will be humiliated so I have to hide what I have inside.
Psychopath: I will be betrayed. I will be used and manipulated by others. I must be right or I will die.
Rigid: If I open my heart I will be rejected. It is safer not to be authentic.


In the end if you keep probing people, all of these beliefs end up coming back to "I am not lovable/ I do not deserve love".

If you are further interested in reading about the 5 main characterological types, I strongly suggest reading Character Styles by Stephen M Johnson.
