Schema therapy
Schema Therapy is an integrative approach to psychotherapy that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy, gestalt therapy, psychoanalytic concepts, and attachment theory. Its primary goal is to help individuals identify and overcome deeply ingrained life patterns, or "schemas," which are formed in childhood and may hinder adaptive behavior and healthy relationships in adulthood. This therapy is based on the understanding that recurring negative emotions, thoughts, or actions are often linked to unmet basic needs, and it works towards their awareness and transformation, allowing the client to build a more harmonious life.
