Schema therapy is primarily used to intervene in problems linked to personality. It is also used for conditions such as depression and eating disorders.

What are schedules?

Schemas are learned, internalized and unconscious patterns for processing information from the environment. More specifically, they are packages of sequences of feelings, thoughts, memories, ways of relating to the other party, and coping strategies.

 

The schemes can produce either pain and suffering or just noise. The goal of therapy is to achieve a cure for a painful schedule, or at least to make it produce only noise, instead of discomfort.

The schemas that produce pain are called early maladaptive schemas (EMS). For example, have you ever felt like you are sabotaging yourself? This is how they work.

 

The Mistrust and Abuse Schedule

According to Young, there are 18 different types of EMS. Today we will focus on just one of them: the mistrust and abuse scheme. It means disconnection and rejection.

As humans, we have basic and universal needs that we must satisfy. If we don't, schemes like the one we're talking about here will emerge. Among the psychological needs that you must fulfill are:

 

The need to know that you belong to a group and can connect in an intimate, safe and stable way. Further, the knowledge that your relationships are based on mutual bonds of love and affection. It means certainty that you are accepted by those you love.

The ability to spontaneously express what you are thinking and the emotions you are feeling. More specifically, the ability to do this freely and without fear.

The security that you are an independent individual. In other words, even though you have and enjoy bonds with others, your identity is yours alone. It means the knowledge that you are an individual and that you feel competent.

Are your close ties safe ties? Do you feel protection and warmth from your close relationships? Do you feel free to say and ask for what you want without fear? Are you independent or codependent? These are some of the questions you should ask yourself to discover if you have incorporated the mistrust and abuse schema into your life.

 

Working with the mistrust and abuse schema

Psychotherapeutic practice from a schema therapy perspective is complex. We will give you some general guidelines regarding this process and its techniques of change.

Change on a cognitive level

In the field of psychology, cognition is defined as the way in which you process information that comes from your environment. It refers to how you reason about what happens to you, the memories you have in this regard and how you solve any problems.

 

Those who have been abused develop a special sensitivity. They are more adept at detecting threats from the environment, no matter how small. In fact, they are hypersensitive.

The purpose of schema therapy is to help them reduce their excessive monitoring of their surroundings.

 

The goal is to offer alternative perspectives on the intentions of others.

 

Emotional change

The memories the victims have of the abuse are painful for them. In fact, sometimes they are so painful that they feel extreme anger when they think about them. Especially when they think about their perpetrators.

The purpose of schema therapy is to promote the expression of their hidden anger and allow it to surface. To this end, it uses narrative strategies. For example letter writing.

 

In order for all of this to be possible, it is important that the therapeutic relationship is a safe relationship in advance.

Change at the behavioral level

It is important not to rush through the process. This is because it is far from easy to trust others again. This must be done gradually and above all in a safe manner.

 

Therefore, schema therapists work based on behaviors that involve intimacy. The client needs to be able to share his memories and secrets with someone he feels comfortable with. The person must also set limits on aspects that hurt him or her.

What about you, do you know how to defend yourself? Knowing how to defend yourself is important if you feel you are the target of abuse. It is also good to use specific communication. In addition, it is important to learn to set boundaries.

 

That said, you have to accept the fact that there will be times when these are deliberately crossed. Consequently, you need to consider whether it is worth continuing in this type of relationship.

Finally, if you feel that you are a target of constant abuse and you don't know what to do about it, remember that a psychologist or psychiatrist will be able to help you.
