Before we begin

• Everyone has an opportunity to share their most pressing pain points (e.g. detached protector) by completing a short questionnaire , so I can identify common themes and tailor the curriculum to the collective.  

Sessions 1 & 2 - expert insights, demonstrate experiential techniques + Q & A

• At the beginning of each session, group members vote on a specific aspect of the identified pain points to focus on in-depth (e.g. the detached protector in imagery). 

• I answer your questions and model experiential techniques to show you exactly what to do and how to handle common setbacks.

• Case-specific questions (e.g., “My client's detached protector always shows up in imagery, should I do empathic confrontation with them?”) are welcomed and often spark wider discussion.

Session 3 - curly case deep dive

• We do a deep dive into a case a member is struggling with to illustrate schema therapy formulation, treatment planning and what to do when things go wrong! Group members read the case prior to the session and we devote the time finding solutions, not rehashing the case details. This is a great way for all members to sharpen their schema therapy skills. ​​

Session 4 - review, refine techniques & optional practice ​

• In our final session, we briefly revisit the group's learning needs & group members vote on what is most important to end with.

• While I conduct demonstrations, group members are invited to observe or practice experiential techniques and ask their final questions. 

​Upon completion 

Final resources are made available and group members will have priority access to secure a space for the next term (groups have sold out every single term thus far!).
