Unracking beliefs vs changing beliefs

[lisindel]

What's the difference between approaches that let you dig up the root cause of a negative limiting belief and just doing straight on affirmations or visualizations?

I think I have an insidious fear of rejection that makes me extremely calculative when I'm interacting with other people. I always plan what to say and how to say it. I'm never authentic. I'm always aware of what I shouldn't say.

I'm not familiar with tackling the root cause of a limiting belief. I believe(pun not intended) it's about digging up an event in your past and changing your stance on it(reframing). I'm not sure how that process goes. What should I do in my situation? How should I deal with other beliefs that I find they have a root cause?

If you can recommend resources I would like that as well.
