A person’s Core Story can be like a treasure box with chains that keep them from living life to the fullest. The Core Story Process helps break those chains to live a renewed life of freedom, peace and intentional relationships.

BREAK Toxic Beliefs

Do some of these issues sound familiar in your life or anyone you know?

  • Disappointed with Yourself

  • Ineffective Through a Fear of Failure

  • Alienated and Alone

  • Living Without Joy

  • Out of Touch from Reality

  • Stuck and Hurt

  • Problems that Continue to Grow

At an early age people form beliefs that can stay with them for a lifetime. During adolescence, certain beliefs are cemented into our unconscious. We believe children are the best recorders but worst interpreters. If left unchecked, these toxic, cemented beliefs will continue to solidify as people grow into adulthood, negatively affecting them and those around them. We have helped thousands breakthrough these cemented beliefs so that they can be set free from the lies from their past and live a life of freedom and peace.

The Core Story Process is the first step to unlocking a person’s story.

  • "Every man, woman and child have a Core Story. Unlocking that story, understanding the unconscious drivers, and discovering the true self has freed thousands from addictive and obsessive behaviors. On the job and in countless marriages, those behaviors sabotage success. The Core Story manual speeds the process of discovery and is an important tool for recovery."

    Russell Bloodworth, Jr., Executive Vice-President of Boyle Investment, Inc.

  • "Every human life is complex. Factors both obvious and hidden shape us. All of us carry impressions of ourselves that determine how effectively we can deal with life. Core Story is a tool for starting a conversation with trusted partners that can heal deep wounds, clarify motivations, and give focus to one's life."

    Rubel Shelly, Ph.D., Past President of Rochester College and Professor of Philosophy and Religion.

  • "The Core Story provides insight into broken attachments and the meaning we place on those family attachments we experienced as children. Through the tool, we learn what we had to do to get our needs met! I think this should be an excellent accompaniment to addiction treatment."

  • As someone who went through the process of recounting my Core Story with Dr. Terry Smith almost two decades ago, I know personally that it can be a powerful experience. In this booklet, he goes step by step through his approach to drawing out the Core Story which highlights special relationships and controlling beliefs. It instructs the reader on how to replicate the process he has developed to transform lives over decades as a counselor.
