SCHEMA THERAPY
Our therapy journey begins with understanding your unique experiences and identifying the schemas that influence your emotional well-being. The goal? To help you shift unhelpful coping styles, break free from limiting patterns, and discover how to meet your emotional needs in healthy, adaptive ways.
We believe every person deserves to have their core needs fulfilled. Through the schema therapy framework, we work towards helping you achieve balance in these five key areas:
How it works
At Centre Self Collective, we take a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy. We integrate experiential, behavioural, and cognitive techniques to help individuals uncover and address the schemas that may be holding them back.
What’s a schema? Think of it as a deeply rooted belief system—patterns that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world. Often, these schemas stem from unmet core emotional needs during childhood, but they continue to influence our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present.
Our work focuses on reducing the intensity of the memories tied to these schemas, alleviating the emotional charge, easing bodily sensations, and reframing unhelpful thought patterns. Through therapy, we explore techniques like:
Building self-awareness
Imagery rescripting
Reparenting exercises
Chair work
These evidence-based strategies aim to bring understanding and recovery, empowering you to overcome barriers and create meaningful change in your life.
