Breaking the Cycle
Logic often isn't enough to change deep emotional patterns.
Schema Therapy uses emotion-focused techniques (like imagery and chair work) to shift how you feel, not just how you think. This allows you to finally break old cycles and build healthier, secure connections
Understanding Lifetraps
Schemas are deep-rooted patterns formed in childhood that influence how we think, feel, and relate to others today. You might feel stuck in repeating cycles, such as abandoning relationships or relentless perfectionism, without knowing why. We identify these "lifetraps" and where they began.
Heal the Inner Child
We work with your "Modes" - different sides of you, like the Vulnerable Child who feels unsafe or the Inner Critic who judges harshly.
Through a process called Limited Reparenting, we meet the emotional needs that weren't met in the past to strengthen your "Healthy Adult" voice.
