core beliefs about ourselves and others supported by thoughts, feelings, and behaviours which are resistant to change. They are central to our sense of self and how we see the world. They feel “natural” and give us a sense of predictability in life. That is why we cling to them, even if it hurts us. They are learned in childhood and persist throughout life. Perhaps we were abandoned, deprived, criticized or abused and we unconsciously recreate situations in which we are mistreated in some way and in which we are unable to fulfill our most desired goals. Schema therapy teaches us how to track and repeatedly counter these patterns until they loosen their grip on us.
