Mistrust & Abuse Therapy in Elsternwick

"I Can't Trust You"
If your mindset is being influenced by the mistrust and abuse schema, it generally means that your first expectation of new people who enter your life will hurt or abuse you in some way. Perhaps they will cheat on you, lie to you, manipulate, humiliate or take advantage of you in other ways.

To protect yourself, you put up barriers between yourself and those around you, which prevents people from getting close to you. You’re likely to be suspicious of people’s true intentions, and even those who love you will struggle to overcome this hurdle.

You might choose to avoid relationships altogether, or perhaps you opt to maintain casual relationships at a superficial level. Another avenue that people with mistrust and abuse schema often go down is to subconsciously choose to get involved with people who mistreat you – this leads to anger.

In the long term, mistrust and abuse schema can have a drastic impact on your mental wellbeing, as we all need close relationships with people to feel supported and emotionally connected. That’s why Your Psychologist in Elsternwick provides in-depth mistrust and abuse therapy, to work through these issues and resolve them at their core.

Astrid is very frightened of the dark. She always sleeps with the light on. When her husband is not at home she usually stays at a friends place overnight. As soon as she notices an unfamiliar noise outside, her body stiffens and she gets panicky.  Every shadow on the street makes her feel anxious and helpless. As a child she suffered from the violent temper of her father. He used to hit her and her brothers and sisters randomly if something upset him. Her mother couldn't protect her as the father also beat her.
