Looking at your life and wondering why you keep falling into the same painful patterns? Schema therapy may hold the key to understanding and ultimately breaking those persistent cycles.
Schema therapy offers a powerful approach to break free from persistent negative patterns by addressing deep-seated beliefs often formed in childhood that continue to shape adult behaviors and relationships. This innovative therapeutic approach integrates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral interventions to heal early wounds and help people develop healthier ways of meeting their core emotional needs.
• Early maladaptive schemas are self-defeating patterns when core emotional needs aren't met
• Core emotional needs include safety, connection, autonomy, self-expression, and healthy limits
• People use three main coping styles with schemas: surrender, avoidance, and overcompensation
• Schemas persist because they're self-reinforcing and deeply embedded in our emotional memory
• Experiential techniques like imagery rescripting help create emotional healing beyond cognitive understanding
• Pattern-breaking behaviors help challenge schemas through new experiences that contradict old beliefs
