Child & Adolescent ISST Schema Therapy Training: Module 3, Imagery re-scripting work

The official ISST CA-ST training for mental health professionals

Come and learn about how schema therapy can be applied to children and adolescent clients. Schema therapy is helpful for those young clients who are struggling with a variety of issues, including trauma, anxiety, attachment difficulties and so forth. It involves not just cognitive strategies but also experiential work, involving chair dialogue work, play therapy/sand tray therapy, imagery work and parent coaching.

There are certain clients who struggle to make good use of imagery work, including the safe place. They struggle to fully access and believe the reparative messages given during traditional Schema Therapy imagery work. These clients often require a longer time spent in the safe place using a variety of techniques to help them successfully take in reparative messages and start shifting unhelpful schemas. This workshop will look at how to do this in detail.
