Schema Therapy

Schema therapy is a psychological treatment that helps individuals identify and change deeply ingrained patterns or beliefs, called "schemas," often formed in childhood. These schemas can influence thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in negative ways. By exploring these patterns, clients work to understand their origins and learn healthier coping strategies. The therapy combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotion-focused techniques, and relational aspects to address emotional issues and enhance self-understanding. Ultimately, schema therapy aims to promote healing and personal growth by reshaping how individuals perceive themselves and their relationships.
