I often use schema therapy to allow us to work together to identify the specific schemas that may contribute to your distress. Common schemas include abandonment, mistrust, emotional deprivation, self-sacrifice and defectiveness. Understanding these schemas is the first step towards identifying how they show up in your choices and can hinder your recovery.
