Healthy adult mode
Healthy adult mode
The healthy adult mode represents a state of balance, rationality, and self-care. In this mode, individuals are able to respond to situations with clarity, assertiveness, and compassion, free from the influence of early maladaptive schemas and coping modes. It represents a state of psychological maturity, resilience, and self-actualization. It is characterized by self-awareness, emotional regulation, assertiveness, empathy, adaptability, and self-care. Through schema therapy, individuals work to strengthen their Healthy Adult mode, enabling them to live more fulfilling, authentic, and meaningful lives.
This is why I have decided to bring awareness about this mode and help all my clients strengthen it, taking step by step on thje way to internal balance and tranquility.
