Psychology in Seattle.

So Bob, I recently did a deep dive on schema therapy.

Have you heard of schema therapy before? No. It's a form of therapy

that isn't widely used and obviously not super popular since you've never even

heard of it before. It's not one of the major

theories but I find it to be actually extremely useful and I'm starting to

modify the theory to my own way of thinking to make it more sense to me, which I think would be fine to the authors of the

original theory, you know, I'm sure they wanted people to expand on it and make it particular to them.

And as I'm doing that, I find that I'm trying to find real life examples to apply to the theory

to test it to... to

test it to expand on it to give it more life.

And in the four or five hour deep dive that I did on

schema therapy, which is available to patrons only and if

people want to listen to it I published it a couple weeks ago and yet you got to become

a patron to listen to it I As I was making the episode I started to modify it

even during those five hours. I started thinking I think I want to change that I

think I want to change that and so I thought as a way of furthering my

understanding of it which I think I'm going to actually start using not only with

my clients, with myself, with my students, I think it actually is a pretty useful model for therapists to

understand their vulnerabilities and their counter-transference.

Oh nice. Yeah and so I thought I would spring this on you and run you through the model and

have you tell me how you would apply it to yourself okay so there's this there's these different areas like we go back in time
