Let’s Talk SCHEMAS! 👀
Ever wondered why you react a certain way in relationships, work, or stress? It might have everything to do with your SCHEMAS.
🔍 What are schemas?
Schemas are deep-rooted mental frameworks we develop in childhood that help us understand the world and ourselves. Think of them like the “filters” your brain uses to interpret life.
🎭 How do they form?
They’re shaped through early experiences—like how we were treated, the attention we received, how safe we felt, or how love was expressed to us.
📦 And why should you care?
Because these schemas stick with us! They show up in our adult behaviors, thoughts, and even coping strategies (yes, even ghosting someone or overworking can be traced back to a schema 👀).
💡 Example: The “I’m Not Good Enough” Schema
This common schema can come from constant criticism or lack of praise growing up. Now as an adult, you might:
👉 Overachieve to “prove” your worth
👉 Avoid challenges for fear of failure
👉 Seek validation from others constantly
But here’s the GOOD NEWS 🎉 — once you’re aware of your schemas, you can change how you respond to them.
🧘♀️ Self-awareness is the first step.
When you notice your patterns, you get the power to choose differently. Therapy can help untangle these patterns so they stop running your life on autopilot.
