A Gentler Way to Strengthen the Healthy Adult Mode and Empower Clients in Schema Therapy.

If you’re finding that traditional schema therapy approaches aren’t working in your schema therapy room and feel more like a battle than therapy, you’re not alone. 

Banishing critics, bypassing coping modes and combative imagery rescripting that uses patriarchal symbols of strength and force can feel too threatening for some clients and abrasive for therapists to deliver. Sometimes these techniques make things worse, rather than better.

There is another way. 

If you want to empower your clients and build the Healthy Adult mode without banishing, without bypassing and without combative imagery rescripting that relies on symbols of masculine violence.

Join Nadene for this masterclass.

Please note. This training assumes participants have experience in using schema therapy.

Break Free From the Battlefield

Build and strengthen the healthy adult mode without the battlefield. No more banishing. No bypassing coping modes (that feels like a battle). No more combative imagery.

This masterclass provides you with clear steps to work with your clients to build and strengthen the Healthy Adult mode using gentle and affirming methods that are well tolerated by clients and also empowering.

Learn how to stop reinforcing patriarchal symbols of strength and power and instead empower your clients through creating templates of feminine archetypes of wisdom, power and strength.

This approach is especially suited to clients with early childhood trauma and sensitive temperaments.
