Enhance Your Schema Therapy through Practice
Course overview
This immersive, skills-focused training course is designed for mental health professionals seeking to deepen their competence in Schema Therapy through the powerful method of deliberate practice. Grounded in the evidence-based framework presented in Deliberate Practice in Schema Therapy by Wendy Behary and Joan Farrell, the course emphasizes hands-on skill development, structured feedback, and progressive challenges to help therapists build confidence, precision, and flexibility in applying schema therapy techniques.
Rather than focusing solely on theory, this course prioritizes experiential learning—bringing the "how" of schema therapy to life. Participants will actively engage in role-plays, targeted exercises, and real-time feedback modeled after the deliberate practice approach, which research shows is the most effective path to clinical excellence.
