What is Schema Therapy?
Schema Therapy is an integrative therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, and attachment theory. It focuses on identifying and changing deeply ingrained patterns, or schemas, that develop from unmet emotional needs in childhood.
Why it Helps:
Schema Therapy is beneficial because it addresses the root causes of chronic psychological issues by targeting maladaptive schemas. Through this therapy, clients learn to recognize and modify these schemas, leading to healthier thinking patterns and behaviors. Schema Therapy helps individuals develop more fulfilling relationships, improve emotional regulation, and achieve long-term mental health improvements.
