Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!
We are revisiting the abandonment schema in our latest episode.
Some of Gemma’s clients are considering returning to the dating world again, so they asked her to talk some more about the abandonment schema and how it relates to dating.
Abandonment is a huge topic! In schema therapy, the abandonment schema is one of the core schemas. It is a very primitive and primal schema. It is possibly the most central schema for all mammals, so it is common.
Schemas are abiding and deeply-entrenched core beliefs that direct our lives. They become the lens through which we see our lives and influence our decision-making and what we focus our attention on. Schemas can give us a framework for understanding ourselves and others and interpreting what is happening in the world.
In this episode, Gemma dives into the abandonment schema and explains what you need to look out for in your relationships, especially romantic relationships.
You will find this episode helpful if you are in the dating world and looking to find a new partner. Stay tuned for more!
