Green Belief is a one-to-one psycho-educational service practice that uses a belief modification technique (a branch of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy). This technique is proven to assist people in letting go of false and fearful beliefs. A false fearful belief is technically referred to as a “delusion.” This delusion is a symptom of some mental illnesses. Regardless of what you call it, this mostly unwanted belief causes a degree of paranoia (paranoid delusion). People can be preoccupied with such a fear to a point where it affects their relationships with others, their job, and their community.○ is a source of education that introduces clients to a greater awareness and apprehension of reality and truth concerning their beliefs. Green Belief assists clients in choosing healthier beliefs to replace fear-based ones.○ is sensitive and non-judgemental. This practice sees you as a whole being and treats you with the hope that you can, and will recover. This practice encourages you to be part of your healing and recovery process.○ is not anti-psychiatry and is not anti-medication but serves to complement other treatment practices.Green Belief teaches its clients a process of evaluating life circumstances and the resulting beliefs, thoughts and feelings that are experienced.
