    Excellent Schema therapy session starters

    Thanks to everyone who contributed to great ways to start schema therapy


    sessions. The questions below are engaging and will help start the session on
    the right foot.

    Contributor Schema Therapy Specific Session


    starter
    Naddy Jill “What does your Vulnerable self
    want to bring (let me know)
    today?”
    And with the clients where we’ve
    been consciously developing HA
    “What has your HA been doing
    this last week/ how has your HA
    been looking after your little self/
    How has your Ha been going with
    managing the critic?”

    Liam Spicer What do you need today? I find


    this has been great and hits to the
    core of schema therapy. Links in
    well after discussing the week as
    well as you can link what has gone
    on in the week with the session
    focus.
    Jayde Victoria I sometimes ask “what parts have
    you noticed this week?”
    Or
    “Which part feels it needs the
    space today”
    Marie Zam Hoskin start with a mindful check-in of
    "what's one thought, feeling or
    sensation you're experiencing in
    this moment?" Can be helpful with
    clients who are prone to telling
    you everything that's happened
    rather than what their experiences
    are. Kind of sets the mood for a
    more tuned in session.
    Eimear Farrell Sometimes I ask a client to take a
    deep breath go inside and see
    what’s coming up when they sit
    with themselves - I find it
    particularly helpful for clients who
    are busy/stressed when they arrive
    &/or in general ….
    Iris Huang For clients at the begining of ST
    journey - "what has triggered yo
    this week?"; For clients at mid+ ST
    journey - "What shall we focus on
    today?" & "where shall we start
    today?". I found a high % will
    repeat my question "hmm, where
    shall we start..." and then start
    reflecting if they haven't had a
    chance to before the session.
    Megan Fry What have you been noticing or
    what are you noticing right now?
    Lucy Walls What do you need from this
    session today?
    Megan Fry What have you been noticing or
    what are you noticing right now?
    Excellent general session starters

    Vanessa Rankcom I like “hows your mood been?”


    more specific than “how are
    you”and makes sure I get an
    assessment of symptoms up front.
    Bianca Villarosa Often I am silent and wait for
    them to say something.
    Michelle Cairns I sometimes like to start with a
    strength based question such as
    “tell me about your wins since we
    last met”. I once had a therapist
    ask me “how can I celebrate you
    this session/week?” which actually
    really got me to think and
    acknowledge my strengths etc.
    Sometimes we can become too
    focused on clients
    ‘problems’…symptoms…etc
    Michelle Hill Esther perel podcast/her go to is
    ‘where should we begin’
    I can see/notice/it seems … (and
    then state what you’ve observed)
    Eg something seems a little off
    today
    OR ‘you’re a little quieter/more
    agitated/a little more
    rushed/dressed/distracted then
    usual as you came in/seem a little
    ticked off about xxx (or whatever it
    was that observed)
    Pause and see what comes out of
    that - and perhaps look at modes
    from there (where relevant)
