A person's memories can sometimes make a person laugh and sometimes make him sad. Saddening memories are mostly maladaptive, what we call negative schemas. Schema therapists sometimes use a flashlight to watch positive, happy memories while traveling through a person's life, and sometimes shine a light on the dark memories of a person's life with a flashlight in their hand. In order to apply Schema Therapy, it is necessary to first identify the incompatible schemas that include past life experiences, and then determine how to deal with these schemas. It is aimed to replace the schemas and coping styles that disrupt this function and make them functional in order for the person to put his life in order.
The early maladaptive schemas that individuals have change the person's daily life, views, feelings and behaviors towards the people in his life. Every person who comes to the clinic brings with them a situation in their life that they see as a problem and want to change. In fact, the person has some desire to be understood and some expectation of help. The client who wants to be understood must first understand himself and know himself. When the client comes to the session, the clinician introduces the client to himself. They put their schemas on the table in front of them and studies are carried out on how their schemas affect their lives.
Schema Therapy, which has a holistic structure unlike other therapy schools, helps us to obtain information about people's schemas, a separate page should be started for each client, and what will be done It is a model in which the work should be completely private and entirely personal. According to this model, it has been observed in studies that success has been achieved in studies of OCD, PTSD, Anxiety Disorders, and personality disorders.
SCHEMA THERAPY TREATMENT TYPE
No matter which school of treatment it is, in order to solve a problem. The priority begins with the client accepting this problem and wanting to receive treatment. The bond established between the therapist and the client continues this process. The first treatment-oriented work of Schema Therapists is to identify the schemas, that is, the evaluation phase. After giving information to the client about schemas and schema therapy a, the schemas identified for the person and the ways of coping with these schemas are shared with the client. The therapist applies the treatment method in line with the change by using cognitive, experiential, behavioral and interpersonal strategies in line with the client's needs.
