The Red Flag Project
Welcome to The Red Flag Project – a podcast for navigating the world of dating & relationships, schemas and attachment patterns and of course red flags. We’ll be looking more deeply into why we choose the partners we do and why we often get stuck in what we call love-traps.
This podcast is for you if you’ve ever wanted to break unhealthy relationship patterns but didn’t quite know how.
We’re your hosts Dr Gemma Gladstone and Dr Justine Corry (Clinical Psychologists, Schema Therapists and Dating/Relationships Coaches) and we look forward to helping you turn confusion and self-doubt into action and self-belief.
This podcast is for information and entertainment purposes only and is no substitute for professional or relationship advice from a registered therapist. Please seek advice that is tailored to your specific needs from a mental heath or relationship expert.

5. The Abandonment Schema and Break-ups
Welcome back to the Red Flag Project
In this episode, Gemma and Justine answer a question from one of their Schema Circle members.
The question asks how can we know if our reaction to a break-up is fuelled by an abandonment schema or not? Before getting into this question, Gemma provides a review of the abandonment schema, it's origin and how it tends to play out in romantic relationships.
The 3 ways this schema plays out in romantic relationships are (1) - an avoidance pattern; (2) - a surrendering pattern and (3) - an over-compensating pattern. Gemma gives examples and explains each of these patterns.
