In fact, my work indicates that there is no such thing as "how deeply
beliefs are held." I've worked with teens and people in their 70s, people
who had been in therapy and knew their beliefs and childhoods, and people
who had never had an introspective moment and had suppressed their
childhoods. Although it might take a little longer with the latter, in
less than an hour beliefs from childhood can be totally and permanently
eliminbated with almost anyone who is willing to engage in the DM Process.
