76. Emotional Landmines: Understanding and Coping with Schema Triggers

Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!

In this episode, Gemma does a solo show talking all about schema triggers and schema activation.

Gemma described the trigger chain and how we can break down the components of schema activation - feelings, thoughts, memories, sensations.  She describes what action urges are and how they are also part of the schema.  She then outlines the 3 different types of coping responses and how we can start to make some behavioural changes.
 
Finally Gemma also discusses some tools and strategies to cope with schema activation and the difficult emotions that can arise.
