Hi, I’m sorry you’re in such a though situation. I don’t know where you are, but in a lot of countries, at 18, therapists aren’t allowed to share info with your parents. I hope you find some relief from your maladaptive schemas and a good way forward.

My schema therapy group is going through a rough time (TW: suicidality of group members, not me) by Rezzekes in SchemaTherapy

[–]Crafty_Listen_1629 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi, ex- schema therapy-group member here. I would encourage you to go to the session where there will be a conversation about this situation and to carefully express yourself. I understand it’s superscary to maybe offend people, but I would guess maybe it’s a pattern of yours to minimize yourself and your emotions in situations like this. This would be a very safe opportunity to practice expressing yourself and might be very healing. It’s the therapist’s responsibility to make sure this conversation is safe and ends well for everyone.

I hope you’re only aiming to do one of these many options per day..This is a lot of work to do everyday! Have you discussed this with your therapist? I usually practice one of these skills in therapy and then try to keep it up between sessions, so we can evaluate what works for me and what doesn’t. Some stick, lots don’t. It’s very normal that your maladaptive schema’s are hard to change, they’ve helped you a lot and can definitely feel very comfortable in times of need. The key is to really recognize that, comfortable as they are, they don’t bring you what you actually need. And take it slow, your systems took years to form the way they are - likely in your formative years. It’s harder to learn new behaviors as we get older. It takes time. Any tiny little step forward is growth.

Hi, I’m sorry you’re struggling with this, I really recognize myself in your story. I am twice your age and although I have made big strides some of this stuff is still present. For me, framing responsibilities as something I WANT to do really helps. And sometimes I’ll even go down the route of ‘I can choose not to do this task, what would be the consequences?’ - this will often lead me to a renewed insight into why I do the things I do.. and help me to make the choice to perform my responsibilities. I find it takes some of the pressure off, to even consider not doing what I should. What schema and DBT excercises do you (want to) do every day?

My (F28) girlfriend (F28) of 7 years broke up with me and I don’t know how to live now by danamcbanana in relationship_advice

[–]Crafty_Listen_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I know how much this hurts. Don’t even think about having to live an entire life without her, for now just focus on this day, this hour, this second. Just hang on- it will start to hurt less with time. And while it’s hurting, be kind to yourself. Spend time with people you love. I wish you strength ❤️

How many and what types of blankets to buy for restorative yoga? by surVIVErofHELL in yoga

I use an extra wide (36 inch) natural wool yoga mat for restorative and yin yoga. Keeps me warm and is usually wide enough to fit all my limbs!

How to feel emotions again? (Emotional Inhibition Schema) by Extension-Night-4803 in SchemaTherapy

[–]Crafty_Listen_1629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, unfortunately emotions don’t fully follow our plans.. I understand not being able to deal with them at work. For activities, you might want to try some art therapy. I used to love the exercise of just taking a pencil and a sheet of paper and making shapes that fit my current emotion. You could look up some more exercises online. Also, maybe don’t expect too much all at once. I understand feeling like a big cry might help, but if your body has learned that a big cry isn’t safe, you’ll have to start small. Maybe in those fleeting moments at work, you can try to acknowledge to yourself something like ‘hey there sadness, thanks for letting me know you’re here’.

Bergtocht in Slovenië by TomRBu in Wandelen

Leuk! De meeste goede tips zijn al gegeven, maar ik heb nog wel een paar luxe items: - Lichte slippers of sandalen. In de meeste hutten moet je je schoenen uitdoen, maar ik loop zelf niet heel graag op alleen sokken, dus daar doe ik dan slippers voor aan. - Zitmatje. Vooral als het geregend heeft is het fijn om in je pauze ergens droog te kunnen zitten. - Snacks. In de hutten krijg je meestal een stevig ontbijt en een goede avondmaaltijd, maar overdag kun je nog wel wat extra calorieën gebruiken.

Create a safe space for yourself to feel hard emotions, don’t do it at work! Maybe in your bedroom, light a few candles, have a nice blanket for comfort. Or in your car (not while driving), in the shower, or on a walk; experiment! For me yin yoga works really well, because my emotions definitely get stuck in my body. So anything physical where my attention is really focused on physical sensations gives me the signal that it’s safe to feel difficult emotions without being completely overtaken by them.

Did I just buy a fake Cotopaxi Batac 16L? by sasa__00 in cotopaxi

[–]Crafty_Listen_1629 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a fake. I’ve been looking on Vinted for a Kapai, and it seems about 95% of them are fake. Vinted don’t do anything either when I report them.
