Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy is an integrative approach used by Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well to support people experiencing long-standing emotional and behavioural patterns, including those contributing to eating disorders.
In Schema Therapy, we explore “schemas” – deep-seated beliefs or patterns that often develop in childhood and influence how people relate to themselves and others. Common schemas linked with eating disorders may include perfectionism, unrelenting standards, shame, or emotional deprivation.
Through a combination of cognitive, behavioural and experiential techniques, Schema Therapy helps people understand and shift these patterns, build healthier coping responses, and meet their emotional needs in more adaptive ways.
If you’re seeking a deeper understanding of the emotional roots of eating difficulties, our Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well can support you through Schema Therapy.
