10: What is the Abandonment Schema and Where Does It Come From? – Gemma and Justine

10: What is the Abandonment Schema and Where Does It Come From? – Gemma and Justine

  • Gemma Gladstone
  • September 7, 2020

In this episode, Gemma and Justine get into the thick of “what is an abandonment schema?’ and how it can play out in our lives, particularly in our intimate relationships.  We also explore the origins of the abandonment schema/abandonment wounds and also do our best to convey the nature of ‘pre-verbal abandonment’ wounds or attachment traumas which can have a hidden impact upon some of the intense trigger reactions we can have in adult life – especially in relation to a break-up and other intense interpersonal rejections.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I’d describe myself as an integrative therapist; someone who brings together lots of different approaches to meet the differing and deeply personal needs of my clients. I take a non-judgemental and respectful stance in my clinical practice and treat each person I work with as a unique individual with an important life story. I have extensive education including a research Ph.D. (UNSW) and 25 years of experience. These days, in addition to my client work at the Good Mood Clinic, I run special interest training on Schema Therapy for fellow professionals and supervise other therapists.
