Schema Workshop

 

Schema work is essentially life planning. It is done in what we call consultation mode, a form of coaching, which unlike other Applied Metapscyhology programs, involves some practitioner analysis, while still remaining as person centered as possible.

 

Schema coaching is a method for use when a client needs motivation, has difficulty choosing a direction in live, is unsure of his her goals, or has difficulty in reaching goals. Schema work also meets the needs of clients whose lives are to chaotic to allow them to benefit from regular Applied Metapsychology sessions.

 

This course teaches a systematic approach to examining and streamlining the path to achieving our goals in life. It also provides effective tools for overcoming emotional charge accumulated after past failures and tools for formulating new goals.
