Sometimes spotting red flags isn't the problem, its acting on them for your own best interests. In today's episode we discuss the main reasons why you might ignore red flags when dating. We look at the role of core schemas such as 'abandonment', 'emotional deprivation' and 'defectiveness' and how these schema can negatively influence our decision making. We think you'll enjoy this one if you have ever struggled with leaving a new relationship even though one part of you knew it wasn't right for you. Hope you enjoy.

When a schema is triggered, we typically have an urge to respond in 1 of 3 (unhelpful) ways. In this episode Gemma talks about 'over-compensation' as one of those coping style.
Over-compensation (also referred to a counter-attack) is one of 3 maladaptive coping styles discussed in schema therapy.
Gemma reviews examples of over-compensation behaviours associated with each of the 18 schemas (in the original schema model).

Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!
In this episode, Gemma and Justine answer a question from one of their Schema Circle members.
The question asks how can we know if our reaction to a break-up is fuelled by an abandonment schema or not? Before getting into this question, Gemma provides a review of the abandonment schema, it's origin and how it tends to play out in romantic relationships.
The 3 ways this schema plays out in romantic relationships are (1) - an avoidance pattern; (2) - a surrendering pattern and (3) - an over-compensating pattern. Gemma gives examples and explains each of these patterns.

Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!
In this episode, we discuss the emotional deprivation schema and how to start to heal this schema from the inside out.
This is probably the most common schema - about 50% of people have this schema. It's the one that can be the hardest to recognise because we are often not aware of what we didn't get.
Stay tuned to hear us discuss how we start to work with this schema and what you can do in a practical way to start the healing process yourself.

Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!
Are you unsure about the difference between these 2 common schemas.
In this bitesize episode we discuss the difference and similarities between these schemas. These schemas are often considered to be 'conditional' schemas in that they develop as a way to cope with and respond to the core schemas - like abandonment for example.

Talking to a Narcissist? Avoid These 6 Common Pitfalls
Very often, if you were raised by a narcissist, in adulthood you will more or less fall into the trap of seeking the approval of people who are narcissistic.
A narcissists acceptance of you is often conditional – as long as you are the version of you they want to see, then they treat you well, or at least in an acceptable way.
In this episode Gemma discusses 6 relational or communications pitfalls to avoid when communicating with the difficult narcissist in your life.
These are people who are really difficult to deal with or communicate with, who might gaslight you or try to manipulate you, who might be highly defensive, super sensitive to criticism, self-absorbed/self-centred; have angry outbursts; tantrums; and tend to be blaming of others and sometimes can be - condescending; patronising and belittling.
