Abstract

Early adverse childhood events lead formation to maladaptive schema and schema modes. #Maladaptive schema modes are triggered by life events in adult life causing intense unpleasant emotions. Schema therapy provides an experiential approach to understanding and changing schema and modes. Schema refers to emotion, perception, meaning and actions given to an experience, often a significant childhood experience [1].#Schema is formed in an individual and is influenced by interactions with others, culture and upbringing. Schema is present in everyone with or without psychological disorders. Early maladaptive schema was proposed by Jeffrey Young as a pervasive dysfunctional pattern of emotions, thought and sensations associated with one's relationship with others, developed as a result of early aversive childhood events [1]. These significant unpleasant early experience leads to formation of maladaptive schemas that is linked to maladaptive schema modes. Schema mode refers to transient emotional and behavioral response to a live event [2]. Schema mode often triggers strong #unpleasant emotions. The types of schema and schema mode are listed in Table 1 [3]. Schema therapy is one of the proposed solutions to deal with early maladaptive schema [4,5]. Schema therapy focused on dealing with maladaptive modes through cognitive and experiential techniques [4]. Schema therapy uses #imagery rescripting to allow patient to re-experienced early traumatic event in a controlled manner whereby needs are met without being overwhelmed by negative emotions related to the event. Imagery rescripting is a visualization process used to change meaning and emotions related to a past traumatic event. [6,7] The process allowed #emotions to be processes while providing unmet needs, care and support experientially. In addition, imagery rescripting assist patient in building healthy adult mode via modeling provided by the therapist.
