This 2-day event will explore the underlying early maladaptive schemas that block people from activating greater levels of connection and optimism in their lives.
The 2-day workshop is based on the Schema Therapy model and involves the delivery of cognitive and emotion-focused techniques relevant to working with clients also seeking assistance with overcoming barriers to greater self-worth, healthy relationships and a positive outlook in life. This workshop has a strong focus on self-reflection and personal growth and is highly suited for health professionals and therapists who embrace the qualities of courage, vulnerability and the power of shared stories.
The schemas that we will be exploring that block connection and optimism are:
CONNECTION – SCHEMAS TO HEAL:
– Defectiveness/Shame
– Emotional Deprivation
– Emotional Inhibition
– Social Isolation/Alienation
OPTIMISM – SCHEMAS TO HEAL:
– Abandonment/Instability
– Mistrust/Abuse
– Negativity/Pessimism
– Vulnerability to Harm/Illness
The workshop will outline a 5-step process based on cognitive, behavioural and emotion-focused strategies that support clients and practitioners alike to activate Connection and Optimism, as follows:
1. Identify the components of Connection and Optimism
2. Set a specific intention to activate Connection and Optimism
3. Identify the limiting beliefs blocking Connection and Optimism, and write a new narrative for Connection and Optimism
4. Engage the imagination and positive emotions
5. Embody Connection and Optimism in daily life
