Schema-Focused Therapy - Enhance Your Trauma Practice

Kara Juszczak, LCSWR, owner of Tree of Hope Counseling will facilitate this session.

Schema-Focused Therapy is gaining popularity as an extension of CBT that gives patients a language that allows them to connect past messages and traumas with current patterns of emotion and behavior. Using an emotional schema inventory, therapists and patients can explore those schemas that are most activated and understand how that maladaptive emotional schema developed and how to repair and heal those parts that have been hurt in the past. Schema inventory and analysis will be shared and practiced and case examples will be shared. Participants will further explore schema modes including parent/child and coping modes. Relationship dynamics will be discussed with case examples. The therapist/patient relationship will also be discussed further as it relates to therapist interventions.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will practice using schema inventory assessment tool.
• Participants will increase understanding of maladaptive emotional schemas.
• Participants will analyze/interpret schema inventory and increase understanding of intervention based on results.

• Participants will apply schema therapy assessment to case examples.
• Participants will apply schema therapy intervention to case examples.
• Participants will increase understanding of using the therapist role in schema therapy.
