Make Peace with Yourself. Schema Therapy. When Trauma Dictates How to Live

We often fall into the traps of our own habits and emotions, repeatedly stepping on the same rakes without understanding why this happens. The root of the problems lies in deep-seated schemas established in childhood. This book is your guide to the world of schema therapy, which allows you to uncover even the most hidden beliefs and helps where traditional therapy proves powerless.

Before you is a clear and understandable description of the schema therapy method.
— Schema therapy without fluff: the author's personal experience, clear structure, effective tools.
— Theory becomes practice on every page.
— Not just a method, but an experience that is lived and tested.

You will learn where recurring schemas come from: fear of abandonment, the painful habit of people-pleasing, harsh self-criticism. You will understand the internal roles — the Adult, the Critic, and the Child. And most importantly, you will understand how to gradually stop fighting with yourself and gain freedom from destructive schemas.

The book combines professional depth with simplicity of presentation. It will become a desktop reference for both those who are just starting their journey in psychology or battling their internal critics, as well as for experienced professionals who want to enrich their practice with proven and clear tools.
