💭 Schemas are deep patterns we carry from childhood.

They can shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world—but they can also be changed.

19/11/2025

🧩 Have you ever noticed you keep falling into the same patterns — in relationships, at work, or in how you treat yourself? 🧩

These deep-rooted patterns arise through maladaptive schemas. They’re beliefs formed early in life when our emotional needs weren’t fully met, and they can affect how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

In our blog "Understanding Psychological Schemas" we cover:

✨ What schemas are
✨ Common examples (like abandonment, failure, or unworthiness)
✨ How therapy can help us break free from them

Ever feel like you’re repeating the same patterns in relationships, work or life in general? Schema Therapy can help trace these patterns back to unmet childhood needs, and support healing through self awareness.

🌱

💡 Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ We all have core emotional needs as children (for love, safety, guidance, validation).
2️⃣ When those needs aren’t fully met, our minds create coping patterns to make sense of the world.
3️⃣ Over time, those patterns can become maladaptive schemas — deep beliefs about ourselves and others that keep repeating into adulthood.

The good news? 🙌
With awareness and therapy, we can learn to respond to our schemas, rather than act from them. Meeting our needs as an adult is not only possible, it’s powerful.

💛 When our core emotional needs aren’t met in childhood, it leaves an imprint.

Schema Therapy helps us recognise these patterns and start healing.

Your feelings aren’t “too much” — they’re signals.

In Schema Therapy, we look at core emotional needs (safety, care, connection, healthy boundaries, autonomy, play, self-expression). When these needs weren’t consistently met growing up, we can develop long-standing patterns (schemas) that keep us stuck — hello harsh self-criticism, people-pleasing, overworking, or shutting down in conflict.

Schema Therapy offers practical, evidence-informed tools to notice triggers, soothe the vulnerable parts of you, set kinder limits, and practise new ways of relating — so life starts to feel steadier and more connected.

If this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone. We offer warm, values-driven therapy in Geelong, VIC. Tap the link in bio to learn more or book an appointment.

Kids don’t need more shame—they need skills, support, and understanding. 💛

Therapy helps build resilience, not just compliance.

🌈 Neurodiversity isn’t about deficits—it’s about different ways of thinking and processing. When schools, families and communities see the strengths alongside the challenges, kids can thrive.

ADHD Myths vs Facts 🧠✨

Myth 1: “ADHD is just for kids.”
Fact: ADHD is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference. Many adults are diagnosed later when day-to-day demands increase.

Myth 2: “People with ADHD can’t focus.”
Fact: Attention is variable. Many experience hyperfocus on tasks that are engaging, and find it harder to sustain attention on low-stimulation tasks.

Myth 3: “Everyone’s a little ADHD sometimes.”
Fact: Occasional distraction is human. ADHD involves persistent patterns that impact daily life across settings—not a personality quirk.

If you’re curious about an assessment (Albury–Wodonga x .m.a.r.tspot) or support (Geelong), you’re welcome to get in touch via the link in bio. We provide evidence-informed, neuroaffirming care.

ADHD isn’t “bouncing off the walls.” Differences in regulation of energy, attention, emotions, and executive function are real—and so are the strengths.🌟

World Mental Health Day — 10 October 🌿

Today’s gentle reminder: take time for yourself. Even 3 quiet minutes can help your nervous system settle — a cup of tea on the porch, a slow walk, or simply breathing with your phone on Do Not Disturb.

Peace and quiet aren’t luxuries; they’re maintenance.

If you’d like support, our team is here in Geelong and Albury–Wodonga. You don’t have to do it alone.
