How does one decide which core beliefs they want to change and which ones they are okay with or believe are accurate?

I'm going to go out on a limb here Stopdog and suggest that on some level you may be fighting a 'core belief' that believing yourself okay in your differences is not okay (gods that's convoluted). Unconscious core beliefs (my T doesn't use that term either, but it's useful...) are a bugger. I ran into some thoroughly unexpected ones there recently... That's why awareness is so important.
