SCHEMA THERAPY

‘Schema Therapy is an evidence-based approach for creating change in the personality dynamics of individuals with chronic emotional and relationship problems. It is an integrative model drawing on cognitive therapy, behaviorism, attachment theory, emotion-focused and relationship-based therapies, and other schools of thought. Schema therapy is effective in reducing chronic symptoms; identifying and resolving self-defeating life patterns and deeply rooted emotional themes; overcoming entrenched interpersonal and self-identity difficulties; building resiliency and productive responses to life challenges, and drawing out and empowering the strong parts of your personality.’*Schema therapy has been proven to be effective in working with personality disorders, including borderline personality. It is also useful for couples counselling and working with eating disorders. *adapted from https://www.mentalhelp.net/blogs/schema-therapy-basics/
