Join the Waitlist for The Schema Circle

The Schema Circle membership is an online platform for men and women who are ready to engage in deeper level content and explore how schemas and schema therapy ideas can provide a deeper understanding of common areas of difficulty and interest.

You will also connect with a supportive community in our private Facebook group exclusively for members and join us for live online group deep-dive workshops that are released monthly.

The Schema Circle does not constitute therapy or group therapy nor is it intended as a substitute for professional mental health advice. Please seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional to gain advice or psychological treatment which is tailored to your specific needs. However, the schema circle may be used as a useful self-help adjunct to any personal therapy you may be receiving.

You can expect to join a community of people who have a similar interest in self-development as you. The Schema Circle will have the following components:

Access to our signature course Know Your Schemas - the first of it’s kind to take you through the foundational content of Schema Therapy. By the end of this course you will:

• Understand your dysfunctional life patterns and the influence they are having on your life - no more confusion!
• Understand how schemas develop and create your life-traps.
• Reflect on your own family of origin and the influence this has had on you.
• Understand the importance of core emotional needs and which of yours are currently unmet.
• Learn what your own schemas are, how you cope with them and how they are triggered.
• Learn all about the 18 schemas: how they present, how they are triggered and how they show up in day-to-day life.
• Know how to cope with schema triggers including how to handle big negative emotions (a key component to becoming a pattern-breaker).
• Discover the essential skill of being able to label and identify schema triggers and validate your negative emotions - an important part of having a strong Healthy Adult Mode.
• There is an ever increasing library of Deep-Dives (or master-classes) where we cover content that we believe is crucial to developing a strong Healthy Adult Mode and healing your schemas. Each Deep-Dive also has a corresponding Healthy Adult Mindset Tool to help you benefit from the material we cover. We will be adding four Deep-Dives per year to the Schema Circle Deep-Dive library.
• A Q&A session delivered by us via Zoom – approximately 60 mins long to assist you in further applying the content to your life. You will be able to submit questions for us via a private Facebook group or interact with us via chat/Q&A live in the session. If you can’t attend this session live the recording will be available to you in the membership portal.
• A private Facebook group community where you can interact with other group members and ask questions. We will also be popping in to answer questions and get ideas and feedback from you too!
• A supportive, non-judgemental space to explore your schemas and pursue your self-development goals.

That’s at least 2-hours of rich content per month PLUS a way to connect with fellow pattern-breakers!

The course lessons will be pre-recorded and available for viewing mid-month. You will receive a notification when they are in your membership portal.

The Q&A’s will be held at the end of the month - on a Monday at 9.30am AEST. If you can’t make it these will be recorded and uploaded after they are held.

Both the Deep-Dive lesson and the Q&A will be conducted using the Zoom platform. Like the Lesson, the Q&A will be conducted in 'Webinar' style format. This means that (as a general rule) members won't have cameras or sound on (unless we take someone off mute because they would like to ask their question out loud). So the Q&A will look like a webinar, that is, you will see and hear us, we won't see group members and members won't be able to see each other. If you submit a question to us before the Q&A session, we will read it out in a confidential way, that is, we will only say your first name - unless you asked us not to, in which case we will just say "a member has asked this.....".

So the Q&A will be completely confidential in that way. During the live Q&A, you can enter a "chat" in zoom which can be seen by everyone in the group, including Justine & Gemma (but these text chats won't be recorded). However when you enter a question into the Q&A box, only Justine and Gemma will see it.

The Schema Circle is for anyone who wants to stay committed and consistent with their self-development and self-learning journey. The material and guidance in The Schema Circle may also be an ideal learning partner to any actual therapy you are undertaking.

Everything is in the membership portal. You just log in and can access all of the Know Your Schema course material, the Deep-Dive library and Healthy Adult Mindset Tools, and the monthly Q&A recordings. You can access the membership portal from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

That is up to you. This isn’t a course or workshop – there isn’t a curriculum, no “homework”, no schedule. You can listen/watch the material in the Know Your Schemas course, the Deep-Dives, participate in the monthly Q&A, do the reflection exercises or connect in the private Facebook group as little or as often as you like. If you are super-busy one week or one month that is no problem. There is no “falling behind” in this membership.

One of the biggest predictors of change is the people you surround yourself with. We hope that by building this community you can surround yourself with like-minded people – who can normalise your struggles as well as inspire and encourage you to persist when things are hard.

This is your space to learn and grow. You can work at your own pace, ask questions and you will be reminded of when new content is released. The content will be there waiting for you in the membership portal. You can go back to any of the Know Your Schemas course material, Deep-Dives, Q&A’s etc at any time and listen, read, watch or practice whenever you want.

Your initial subscription instalment will be processed the same day you join the Schema Circle. For monthly subscriptions, instalments will then be processed on the same day of every following month. For yearly subscriptions instalments will be processed on the same day and month of every subsequent year.

When you first join The Schema Circle you are joining for an initial 12 month commitment. This means that the monthly or yearly fees are non-refundable for the first 12 months (after the initial 14 day trial period has passed). However, once your initial 12 months is over you may choose to cancel your membership. You may also choose to continue to pay month-by-month or re-commit to another 12 months to take advantage of the discount (pay for 10 months upfront to get access to 12 months).

The Schema Circle membership is not psychological therapy or group therapy. Rather, think of The Schema Circle as a live self-help book. During the Q&A sessions we will provide assistance with certain issues and applications of the content covered in the deep-dive but it is beyond the scope of the membership to provide in-depth and tailored recommendations to any individual group member.

When you join The Schema Circle we offer you a 14-day trial period to have a look around and work out if it is for you. If you cancel within that 14 days (by emailing us at [email protected]) you will get a full refund of your purchase.
