WEBINAR: Schema Therapy with Christians: Working with Common Presentations
Description
90 minute webinar
Working with clients who identify as Christians provides some unique challenges and opportunities. This webinar will provide a brief overview of how Schema Therapy fits with a Christian world view and will focus on practical ideas for;
- Bypassing a Spiritualising Detached Protector
- Untangling a Critic mode from client's experience of God
- Working with Unrelenting Standards and Self Sacrifice Schemas with Christians
- Using biblical metaphors in Imagery
This webinar is aimed at clinicians who have a working knowledge of Schema Therapy (who know how to assess for modes and schemas and how to do basic Schema Therapy interventions). Experienced clinicians without this background knowledge will still benefit, but if you are wanting to increase your knowledge of Schema Therapy, self-paced introductory courses are available at https://learn-schema-online-stia.teachable.com/p/home
