What is Schema Therapy?
Schema Therapy aims to meet the core emotional needs of clients in healthy ways through the reparative relationship with the therapist aka ‘Limited Reparenting’ process. The goal is for you to eventually have your emotional needs met both in and outside therapy.
Your therapist will help you to identify unhealthy schemas and coping methods, replace them with healthier patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Research has found that it is used for the treatment of personality and mood disorders, and particularly useful for Borderline Personality Disorder.
