A schema is a mental model that structures itself to process cognition and perception. Constructing a schema involves following a self-built process to allow a person to view the world based on knowledge, concepts, interpretations, imagination, and problem-solving skills developed through experience. This audiobook will describe the types of schemas, how to modify them, how schema can hurt or help us, the impact of learning and memories, and schema therapy for the following traits: Abandonment, mistrust, emotional deprivation, social isolation, dependence, vulnerability to harm, defectiveness, failure, subjugation, unrelenting standards, and entitlement. The information will unfold schema therapy and explain how it helps unravel learned information, stereotypes, and harmful ideologies that have led you to the point you are. New information, which fits within a persons’ schema, may also impact how individuals see the world.

When data that fits into an existing schema crosses the individual’s path, they are more likely to pay attention to it. There are times when people will distort the material to fit comfortably into the existing schema, which also impacts how the person remembers events. Section seven will delve into the vulnerability of harm schema and give individuals tools with schema therapy that can help moderate this harmful schema. This schema can be traced back to early childhood and may have developed because the individual experienced an extreme loss. These losses could include a friend, parent, or another family member. When the person went through this loss, they felt unsafe. Now, the schema leads them to believe that there is a tragic ending around every corner.
