Early Maladaptive Schemas
Client Reflection Workbook
A gentle, structured guide for noticing patterns, naming your experience, and beginning to respond with more clarity and self-compassion.
The workbook walks you through the five schema domains and 18 early maladaptive schemas. For each, you'll find a short definition, a real-life example, and reflection prompts to explore where the pattern shows up in your life, what it says inside you, and what a healthier response might look like.
How to use this workbook
Circle or highlight the schemas that feel familiar. You do not need to diagnose yourself or get it perfect. Notice what fits, what almost fits, and what feels charged. Use the reflection lines to explore where the pattern shows up, what it says inside you, and what a healthier response might look like.
