Thanks to the collective efforts of everyone involved in our recent ISST conference, we have made a significant contribution to the environment. We are proud to announce that 1035 trees were planted as part of our initiative to be more environmentally conscious during this event.
This achievement is a testament to our commitment to the well-being of our planet, but it is also just the beginning. We understand that the health of our world is a continuous endeavor, and the ISST is dedicated to ongoing efforts to ensure a sustainable future for all.

Moving forward, we will continue to prioritize environmental responsibility in our activities and encourage everyone in our community to do the same. Together, we can make a lasting positive impact on our world.

We would also like to give special thanks to the Environmental Awareness and Action Committee who have been instrumental for these results.

New Book on Schema Therapy for Clients!
In the world of schema therapy, where professional literature abounds, there has long been a gap in resources dedicated specifically to schema therapy patients and clients. The only available option is a brilliant โ€œHow to Reinvent Your Lifeโ€ by Jeffrey Young and Janet Klosko. That is, until now. Enter โ€œYour Coping Skills Arenโ€™t Workingโ€ by Richard Brouillette, an ISST-certified schema therapist. This new book is a beacon of light, providing invaluable support to those undergoing schema therapy.
In a warm and accessible manner, Brouillette unravels the mystery of why individuals find themselves stuck in unhelpful coping patterns, despite their best efforts. He introduces core schema therapy concepts like childhood needs, schemas, and modes in a language thatโ€™s free of jargon and easy to understand.
Brouilletteโ€™s approach marries innovative elements of schema therapy with mindfulness and journaling, offering clear and practical guidance. From chairwork to imagery rescripting, this book empowers our clients to engage with and heal their inner pain and suffering.
Endorsed by experts in the field, like Jeff Conway, Susan Simpson, Eckhard Roediger to name a few, this book serves as an essential resource for self-study. It allows clients to gain a deeper understanding of their therapy journey and maximize the impact of their sessions. โ€œYour Coping Skills Arenโ€™t Workingโ€ is a brilliant and inspiring guide, a transformative journey that you wonโ€™t want to miss out on.

Ho, Ho, Ho, dearest Society members and friends ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…!

Just a few moments away from Christmas eve we wish you a wonderful Christmas and happy new year.

We were overwhelmed by the many wonderful submissions we received for presentations at our 2024 INSPIRE Warsaw Conference (almost 130!) and hence it took us some time, a lot of discussions and shuffling around to try to get the most out of them in our available agenda space.

But before we spend a couple of Christmas holiday days with our own loved ones, we wanted to share our preliminary program with you.

We have amazing presenters from every corner of the world (107 speakers for now).

And a rich program to satisfy your interests and perhaps open you to new paths in ST.

Please remember about AI translations in at least 8 languages of recorded materials available for 12 months!

And to add to that we can already tell you that we are in the planning process of adding an additional track to add more exciting speakers and presentations.
You can find the program for the Conference in our second link (go to our bio)
