i know my therapist said how she wants to work with me on giving me new skills but never said what kind of therapy we will use. i am not sure what they use since this is through the state. i know i have long term bad attitudes/behaviors that was never addressed by my parents when i was young and if they did address, i believe i wouldn't have these attitudes.
the problem is i got these attitudes from them! every bad attitude or negative thinking comes from my parents. its very hard for me to do anything because of these long term bad attitudes/behaviors that have programmed into me. i told my therapist i never learned any positive skills and i wanted to say how do u do that when u still live at home in an hostile environment?
so, i never heard of schema therapy but heard of cognitive therapy which sounds like id like to do. however, i will ask my therapist what kind of therapy methods are we gonna use? she does want to get all the family history from me out in the open the proceed with her knowledge/expertise about my parents.
