- Understanding mode cycles
- Beginning connection dialogues, chair work and imagery re-scirpting
The workshop will be interactive, with input, demonstrations and opportunity to practice skills.

Common questions:
What if I haven’t done any Schema Therapy training before?
You are strongly encouraged to complete the introduction to Schema Therapy workshop: Schema Therapy for Chronic Mood and Anxiety Disorders - either live or 'at your own pace'
This workshop assumes a knowledge of schemas and modes, how to bypass a coping mode and basic Imagery Re-scripting. If you don't have that knowledge the introduction workshop listed will meet that need.
What if I haven’t had much experience with couples?
The training will provide options for those with less couples experience and those with more, aiming to meet your individual learning needs.
Can I use my Gottman Method, Emotion Focused or other couples therapy skills?
Yes, Schema therapy is an integrative therapy that can build on your existing skills.
