Schema Therapy That Helps You (Re)connect
Healing lifelong patterns by understanding the roots beneath them.
Have you ever wondered why the same emotional reactions or relationship struggles keep repeating, even when you try to change? Maybe you find yourself drawn to familiar dynamics that leave you hurt, or you notice a critical inner voice that’s hard to silence. These patterns aren’t accidents, they’re rooted in early life experiences that shaped how you learned to cope, protect yourself, and relate to others.
Schema Therapy helps you understand these deeper patterns and gives you tools to change them. It’s designed for people who feel stuck in emotional cycles that don’t make sense logically but feel impossible to break.
At (Re)Connect Therapy Center in Towson, MD, Schema Therapy offers a path to awareness and healing, helping you reconnect with your emotions, your needs, and the version of yourself that’s ready to grow.
When Old Patterns Keep Showing Up
Schemas often form early in life when core emotional needs such as safety, love, stability, or acceptance aren’t fully met. Over time, these unmet needs can lead to beliefs like “I’m not good enough,” “People always leave,” or “My feelings don’t matter.” Even as adults, these beliefs can quietly drive your emotions, behaviors, and relationships.
Schema Therapy helps bring these patterns into awareness so you can begin responding to life from a place of choice, rather than reacting from old emotional wounds.
Through Schema Therapy, you’ll begin to recognize which schemas (or “core stories”) are active in your life. Common examples include:
Abandonment: Fear that people will leave or reject you
Mistrust/Abuse: Expectation that others will hurt or take advantage of you
Defectiveness/Shame: Belief that you’re flawed or unworthy of love
Emotional Deprivation: Feeling that your needs for care and understanding won’t be met
Unrelenting Standards: Pressure to be perfect or achieve to feel valued
At (Re)Connect Therapy Center, our Schema Therapy approach is compassionate and collaborative. We’ll help you notice when an old schema is “running the show” and guide you toward new ways of thinking, feeling, and relating, both with others and with yourself.
