What is a schema?

​

A schema is a way of thinking and feeling that we develop in childhood and that we usually use to face difficult situations. There are 18 schemas identified, such as the "emotional deprivation" or "unattainable goals" schema. The name will surely not tell you anything, and in fact it is the least important thing, but it will serve to understand why your reactions are sometimes exaggerated, or why certain circumstances generate anxiety.
