What is Schema therapy

Schema Therapy is a type of therapy that helps people understand and change patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can hold them back in life. These patterns, known as schemas, often develop in childhood due to negative or unhelpful experiences, and they shape how we view ourselves, others, and the world.

How Does Schema Therapy Work?

Schema therapy helps you identify these unhelpful beliefs and understand how they affect your life. It aims to break the cycle of negative thinking by teaching you healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and coping. This may involve:

• Recognizing negative patterns: Together, we’ll identify the schemas that might be affecting you, like beliefs of being unloved or unsafe.

• Imagery re-scripting: revisiting distressing memories and changing the way you experience them. By using mental imagery, you can re-imagine past events in a way that allows you to heal emotional wounds and create a more empowering narrative for yourself.
