Overview

This Self-Paced Course is an introduction to the core concepts of Schema Therapy and the meditation techniques you can use to break schema-informed life patterns. Schema Therapy has an inherent attachment focus, which we emphasise strongly.

You will be guided in using imagined “perfect nurturers” to connect with and investigate unmet needs from childhood. The goal of Schema Therapy is to cultivate the Healthy Adult Mode so that we live more from a place of awareness and security.

This is a very good accompaniment to working with a therapist or in-group.

This program is for you if:

• you want to understand or break patterns in your life
• you have tried other healing modalities with disappointing results
• past traumas are holding you back
• you want to improve your ability to emotionally regulate and stay centred under stress

List of meditations included:

• Investigation of Core Needs in Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood
• Exercise for understanding Schemas, Modes, and Needs

• Connecting with Your Inner Child
• Experiencing you Inner Child’s Needs

These meditations were partially inspired in the process of running a bookclub on “Experiencing Schema Therapy from the Inside Out: A Self-Practice/Self-Reflection Workbook for Therapists (Self-Practice/Self-Reflection Guides for Psychotherapists)” Workbook Edition by Joan M. Farrell, Ida A. Shaw, an excellent, exercise oriented book for working in Schema Therapy.
