Schema Therapy

Schema therapy focuses on deeply rooted patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that we carry from childhood into adulthood. These "schemas" often develop as a response to unmet emotional needs – such as the need for safety, love, or acceptance. Even though we are now adults, they can unconsciously influence our decisions, relationships, and experiences.

Schema therapy is based on the thesis that these inner beliefs – like "I'm not good enough," "I have to be strong," "I can't trust anyone" – can be the source of recurring problems in our lives. Therapy, therefore, helps to identify these patterns, understand their origins, and begin to approach them in a healthier and more compassionate way.

It is suitable not only for anxiety, depression, or personality disorders but also for long-term dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. It helps clients to strengthen their healthy self, process old wounds, and build a safer inner world.

If you are considering therapy, schema therapy can help you understand the deeper roots of your problems and bring greater inner stability, relief, and self-esteem. Even what has long been painful can become a starting point for growth and change.
