Where to find certified schema therapists near me in Australia?
Check the International Society of Schema Therapy directory. It lists certified therapists by city.
How does this therapeutic approach differ from traditional CBT?
CBT focuses on current thoughts/behaviours. Schema therapy digs into childhood patterns ("schemas") and uses extra tools like imagery and chair work. Often used when CBT alone isn't enough.
What is the most effective treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD)?
DBT and Schema Therapy both have strong evidence. DBT is more widely used; Schema Therapy is also very effective long-term.
Does DBT work on ADHD?
DBT is not designed for it. Emotion-regulation and mindfulness skills can help a bit, but ADHD-specific treatment (coaching, ADHD-focused CBT, medication) works better for focus/attention.
Is DBT therapy good for depression?
It is helpful, especially if depression comes with intense emotions or self-harm. For plain depression, standard CBT is usually the first choice.
Is OCD one of the worst mental illnesses?
WHO ranks it among the top disabling conditions worldwide. Severity varies from person to person. It responds well to ERP therapy.
Is DBT appropriate for children?
Yes. DBT-C exists for younger kids (6–12), and standard DBT is used for teens.
