When I looked up schema therapy I found some of it was similar to IFS. You were the one who suggested it to me, weren't you? Sorry if I forgot. Being pushed around by your parts or modes, as you say, is what my T tells me isn't good. She says "your parts are running the show". What we are trying to do is give you more of a sense of Self so that it is your Self who is in charge, not your parts.

I'd love to hear in more detail how schema therapy works!
