I agree that understanding something intellectually is totally different than being able to apply that and change something that you want to. Fear and anxiety often get in the way for me. But i am confused about the "core values" comment. I mean, I see my core values as things I would not want to change in therapy, about making the world a better place and helping as many people as I can (for example). If he means core beliefs, like the world is a terrible place and nobody can be trusted, then some of those I have dealt with in therapy.
