Schema therapy is an innovative, integrative therapy that expands beyond cognitive-behavioral therapy, incorporating additional aspects of attachment, Gestalt, object relations and emotion focused therapies.
Part 2 of Schema Therapy Tool Kit has vibrant, colorful cue cards designed to guide sessions using a schema therapy framework.
The cards in this set outline (34 A5 Cue Cards):
-

The 4 main types of Modes:

Use the Schema Therapy cue cards to help clients identify dysfunctional coping strategies. The vibrant visuals can be used to enhance process work and deepen client's understanding of important therapeutic techniques. The visuals can be used as an immediate reminder for future sessions in which dysfunctional coping strategies emerge in situ helping to break habitual patterns of responding. These techniques may be particularly beneficial with long standing emotional difficulties that have origins in childhood or adolescence.
The intervention cue cards provide additional resources to heal emotional wounds, guiding corrective emotional experiences and activities that seek to meet childhood unmet needs. Not only can these cards be used within a schema therapy framework but creative therapists can adapt the resources to emotion focused techniques, attachment theories and cognitive behavioural techniques.
