Quick question regarding wants
Are wants really beliefs and can they be erased?
If we have a belief about wanting to be safe and secure
Would this be wordedI wanted to be safe and secure?
Other examples
I want to be wealthy – I wanted to be wealthy
I want control in my life – I wanted control in my life
I wanted love and approval – I wanted love and approvalNot sure On the wording “wanted” and if it's more a CT or other PSTEC product
Thanks

Hi Bloodfish – Your perception might be twisted around here.
I wanted to be safe and secure?
You wanted to be safe and secure but you believed you were not. So you would want to focus on the reason you believed you were not.
Present vs past tense examples:
I'm not safe = I haven't been safe
I'm not secure = I haven't been secure
There are certainly other beliefs specific to you underpinning this.
I want to be wealthy – I wanted to be wealthy
I want control in my life – I wanted control in my life
I wanted love and approval – I wanted love and approval
Present vs past tense examples:
– I'm not wealthy – I haven't been wealthy
– I'm not in control of my life – I haven't been in control of my life (the root would actually drop the “of my life” you probably believe I'm not in control” among many other control related beliefs that would be specific to you)
– I haven't been loved, nobody loves me, I haven't loved myself etc.
Hope this helps clarify.
