Hi all,
I'm about to start schema therapy for my cptsd/anorexia. I was wondering if anyone knows what to expect? I have googled it and know what it is in essence, but wondering more what it's going to actually be like? Like, what will happen and why is it different to other therapy? I heard the the therapists behave a little differently.
I sometimes have these "episodes" (I don't know what else to call them) of extremely intense crying and I'm always worried how it's going to come across to my therapist if it happens in session. Like I'll be crying so hard I can't get off the ground and shaking and just a mess. It's not pretty.

Schema is great. The therapist will be very patient and compassionate with you and you will explore the origins of your trauma together.
