🎥 Introducing Psychsplained: Your Guide to Schema Therapy! 🧠

Ever feel like you're stuck in the same emotional patterns, repeating the same struggles in relationships, work, or life? 🤔 It’s not just you—our minds are wired through schemas—deep, unconscious patterns shaped by early experiences.

In this first episode of Psychsplained, I break down what schemas are, how they shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and why understanding them is key to breaking free from unhealthy patterns. 🚪💡

✅ What are Early Maladaptive Schemas?
✅ How do they affect your relationships?
✅ Can you change them? (Yes, you can!)

Empathy vs Advice

Much of the advice is anecdotal but it comes from that good intention of helping another person out. Some advice can be step-by-step and clear, but most advice lacks empathy. It doesn't necessarily consider you, it considers only the person giving it.
Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

We often ask people what MODE they're in. Or we get told by someone who seems to know us well that we're in some type of MODE again.

Well, have you heard of SCHEMA MODE THERAPY before? No, it isn't the latest fad doing the rounds. Schema Mode Therapy has a 30 year scientifically validated history. The most experienced and specialised psychotherapists in the world have some training in this modality.

The reason being, it's clinical success rate!

As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, I work exclusively from this modality and now would like to SHARE KNOWLEDGE and EDUCATE as many people as I can to take ownership of their mental health and relational wellness by understanding themselves and others through the language of SCHEMAS and MODES.
