My new (replacement) T is also a schema therapist and we started about two months ago. I had to take two test to see on what I score high. We just have started to get me more aware of my vulnerable child. T said I have to get more aware of it first (when it happens, what I feel/think etc) and then I cant get to learn how to care for my ''vulnerable child''. And we will also do that for my ''angry child'', etc. I have to learn to care for myself and to become more of a ''healthy adult''.

This T is so different from other T's I have seen. She's more open. I like that, it feels like she's more honest. She tells stuff about herself and I'm allowed to ask her anything. But she does know the boundaries, so it won't feel like she's a friend, so that's good. She said she thinks it's weird for T's to not tell a little bit about themselves. She wouldn't feel like talking to a T who tells nothing about him or herself.
Last session I actually took some more efford on my appearance and she told me I looked beautiful. No T has ever complimented on my appearance (not that I want that, but it's nice to get a compliment when you reakky put an efford). We also talked about my ''progress'' and she told me she's proud of me.
I think that because she's more open caused me to open up to her faster than I did with any other T.

I hope this schema therapy will help me to get ''better''.
Thanks for this!
