Vulnerable Child - The core of the Schema Therapy model

The Vulnerable Child is the centre of the Schema Mode Therapy model. We are old children, we have vulnerabilities, our emotions are real and we need to be compassionate to ourselves. Turning towards your vulnerability, reconnecting with your vulnerability is a key part of moving forward. Know your vulnerability and know your coping modes.

    How many people know those words "If you don't stop crying I will give you something to cry about" How much better a place could the world be if no one has experienced of those words. It was a good video.

    Hello. I'm 1.5 years into Schema Therapy. Your video is a good descriptor of what it's like. I am learning to be nicer to myself. It does require perseverance, but I'm beginning to like myself. Faults and all. I enjoyed your video.

    The descriptions of detaching as a way to avoid difficult vulnerability was really helpful. Yes it feels very automatic and 'reflexive' to the point where it's very hard to catch. Thank you for an introduction to this work, I already feel a slight space to work with.

    When "speaking" to that vulnerable part of myself I usually speak in first person plural (we/us) because it helps to maintain awareness of both the vulnerable child and healthy adult both cognitively and physically. I can think about the vulnerable emotion while also feeling it physically while also having compassionate thoughts and feeling physically soothed. It is a more integrating experience; however, I wonder if it's strange because I am one person. Is it strange?

    I have feelings about the part where you say we can't expect others to meet our needs now that we're an adult. My mom passed away when I was 8 and she came from a very large family of siblings and I felt abandoned by them then when I needed them most but also they show very little effort to be a part of my life today. My dad remarried a narcissist who has completely driven a wedge between us, he is trauma bonded to her and has completely changed to a man I no longer recognize. So I have essentially lost both parents and feel very vulnerable and abandoned. It feels very triggering and extremely unfair to say that I don't expect some sort of compensation from these aunts and uncles. I do expect them to care about me in my life and to care about being a part of it, and I expect them to show more effort since I am without parents, then they would otherwise. We are told to seek out other relationships to meet the needs that would normally be met from our parents. So I do feel that these statements can be contradictory. Could you please share your thoughts on this?

    Com base no que vi e li da teoria dos esquemas acredito finalmente ter descoberto o motivo de eu sempre ficar em total panico quando me deparo com agulhas e sangue e coisas que remetam a isso. Enquanto criança eu nao me senti segura e protegida quando me encontrava em situaçoes assim e tentando ser forte ignorei a minha necessidade de ser vulneravel e acolhida e acarinhada. Eu ignorei o lazer e busquei desempenho por meio de estudos e atividades que me testassem a fim de me sentir capaz e protegida por mim mesma. Sinto que alguns comportamentos desadaptativos envolvendo namoros e minha alimentaçao vem disso e a melancolia com que me deparo a cerca de 8 anos pode ter sido desencadeada la atras e so entao entrei em contato e nao sabendo lidar com isso pela necessidade de ser cada vez mais dura comigo mesma e ser "forte" eu quebrei. Hoje tento me adaptar ao fato de que sou adulta , semi independente pois logo vou me formar na pos graduaçao e começar a trabalhar , tenho amor e posso me defender , uma agulha para uma criança pode ser um monstro mas enquanto adulta posso readaptar minha mente para pensar " Eu quero e posso mudar,posso passar por esse exame de sangue ou doaçao de sangue e ficar bem , sao so umas furadas, eu ja operei vesicula e fiquei bem , quem encara cortes encara furos e coisas do tipo". Eu nao preciso ser compulsiva por comida ou por intimidade fisica com outras pessoas , nao preciso ser uma nerd apenas estudar , eu nao preciso ja ter o melhor emprego do mundo de cara apenas um emprego que pague as contas pra começar , eu posso ser grata por tudo de bom que tenho na minha vida e lidar com as emoçoes e momentos nao tao legais. Eu posso abraçar a minha criança vulneravel da mesma forma que eu desejava ser abraçada quando tinha aquela idade e dizer "Voce nao precisa ser a filha perfeita , a aluna ideal , a forte que nunca chora , voce pode sentir e mostrar , lidar com isso de modo a aprender com isso...".

    Hi Jess, when we reparent ourselves, I imagine that it would be ideal to be in an environment that doesn't keep triggering our schemas? So if we try to remove ourselves from that situation, is that Healthy Adult doing the right thing, or is that maladaptive coping? i.e. flight..

    Self compassion is hard. Self compassion is crucial. Imagine a friend in your situation. What would you say to them? Would you judge them harshly? A helpful exercise is to write to yourself as though you were writing to your friend in your predicament. The malevolent may not deserve compassion, but everyone else does.

    I see a lot of issues with schema therapy...first of all the very judgemental nomenclature assigned to the different states of mind (healthy adult...really? it could not be more judgmental than that). Second, I think there is a big lie within this model, and it lies in the mantra: you must take care of the vulnerable child who is the focal point of yourself...tbh, one should take care of something that has something good to give back in return, but this is not the case for vulnerable child mood..indeed, this mood is the worst part of anybody, it is like cancer...the lies is that schema therapy does not admit that the vulnerable child is a disease, a disease that one can not recover from...I am open to discussion: please tell me if I am wrong by answering the question: how is the vulnerable child a good thing to nurture?
