A key feature of Schema Therapy is the completion of intake assessments and questionnaires to inform our joint understanding of what is your presenting problem, what is maintaining it, what are the origins or root cause/s of your presenting problem and what are strenghts that we can leverage and use to to help you.
To understand yourself and your current life problem it is important to identify your underlying temperament, schemas and schema modes through:
Questionnaires about your usual behavior and feelings
Questionnaires about how viewed our parents or childhood carers
Questionnaires and discussion of your childhood experiences
Questionnaires you need to complete include:
Intake assessment about your parents, your relationship and your core beliefs
Big Five Personality Questionnaire
DSM 5 Personality Questionnaire
Young Schema Questionnaire
Young Schema Mode Questionnaire
Young Parent Inventory Questionnaire
This might sound a bit daunting. But clients like you have really gained a lot of insight from doing them and forms a significant input into our therapy together.
