“I believe facing the darkness is one of the most powerful ways to overcome the pain”.
The Belief Re-Anchoring Method offers a model that explains how individuals can step out of that fusion. It describes a movement from being inside the belief to a quiet place of awareness that stands outside it. The method unfolds in three stages: sensing the belief through the body and its remembered origin, meeting the belief in a soft inner dialogue that reveals why it once tried to protect, and returning to the observing self that exists beyond the story. This model shows how bodily cues, narrative meaning, and reflective awareness interact to create either constriction or clarity. Healing, in this view, does not mean fighting the belief or erasing it. It means restoring the distance that allows the person to see the belief as one part of experience, not the center of identity. This paper describes the conceptual model of the method, its mechanisms, and its relevance for anxiety, trauma, depression, and identity-related distress.

Circle of Courage Method: A Conceptual Model for Approaching Fear and Trauma
DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/3HBZ4
The Circle of Courage Method is a conceptual model that describes how people can approach fear and trauma through gradual and embodied steps rather than confronting everything at once. It draws on work about experiential avoidance, emotional numbing, distress tolerance, embodied presence, and symbolic engagement to propose a simple spatial map of emotional distance.
The model has three concentric rings From Afar, A Little Closer, and Within Reach that surround a central area representing both the feared material and the emotional needs that fear has been protecting, such as safety or dignity. Each ring offers a different way of relating to fear while remaining grounded in the present.
The outer ring supports distant observation and naming, the middle ring supports gentle imaginal and narrative contact, and the inner ring supports brief moments of fuller emotional presence paired with sensory grounding. Movement into and out of the rings is treated as expected and valid, and courage is defined in terms of repeated small steps rather than endurance of maximum intensity in a single effort.
This paper presents the conceptual model and structure of the Circle of Courage Method, illustrates it with diagrams and real-world examples, and considers its implications for professional practice and guided self-exploration.
