What is Schema Therapy NYC? Major Techniques Used in Schema Therapy

Schema therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps people identify and change long-standing negative patterns in their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It’s an integrative approach that combines elements of various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and attachment theory.

Psychoeducation: This involves educating the client about schema therapy, including the concepts of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and schema modes.
Mode Identification: The therapist helps the client identify their current emotional state (schema mode) and how it is affecting their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Schema Trigger Identification: This involves helping the client identify the situations, people, or events that trigger their early maladaptive schemas.

Imagery Rescripting: This technique helps the client re-experience a stressful or traumatic memory and “re-script” it with a more helpful perspective.
Empathic Confrontation: The therapist validates the client’s emotions and experiences, while also gently challenging their unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.
Dialogue Techniques: These techniques, such as chairwork, help the client to have a dialogue with different parts of themselves, such as their child mode or their critical parent mode.
Cognitive Techniques: These techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, help the client to identify and challenge their unhelpful thinking patterns.
Behavioral Techniques: These techniques, such as exposure therapy and skills training, help the client to develop new coping mechanisms and behaviors.
