Dahlia,
Thanks for replying.
You and I are pretty much at the same point. When I first encountered Schema Therapy, I learned quite a bit about schemas from my therapist. I also found Reinventing Your Life by Dr Jeffrey Young an enlightening read. But I didn't get to the stage where the therapy was making changes that I needed.
On 14 February, I start on a 20-week Schema Therapy group course (NHS) and I'm looking forward to it. I certainly need it - my anxiety has been very high today.
Will keep everyone posted.
