Date: 4th March 2023
A day where we look at the work of Jeffery Young and the concept of Maladaptive Schemas. These can be described as beliefs about us, our life, the world and others, which help us cope with and make sense of things when we are children, but which in later life can sabotage happiness and connection
Without the right support in our early years, we are likely to develop maladaptive schemas, and these will become a lifelong way of relating to ourselves and the world. They start off being helpful to us in some way and eventually become very unhelpful. An early maladaptive schema has been defined by Jeffrey Young as ‘a broad pervasive theme or pattern regarding oneself and one’s relationship with others, developed during childhood and elaborated throughout one’s lifetime, and dysfunctional to a significant degree’.
This workshop will present the different maladaptive schemas that Jeffery Young identified and explore how they came into being, how they might have developed and how they sabotage wellbeing and connection in adult life. Identifying these in our clients’ stories can be incredibly useful as we can help them to gain awareness of their patterns and how to adapt them.
We will look at The Connections Model, a holistic model that suggests that the self is made up of at least four parts; mind, body, soul and emotion. We will explore how maladaptive schemas lead to disconnection within the person and their wider world using the model and linking this to maladaptive schemas.
There will also be a chance to consider schemas in relation to yourself and your practice.
