With a growing evidence base for a wide range of mental health problems, substance misuse, and offending behaviour, Schema Therapy now encompasses more concepts than ever. And whilst that makes the ideas highly relatable, it can also be really difficult to memorise all the key words and components! Bear in Mind Psychology Cards are here to simplify this by providing physical reminders of each concept, complete with a brief summary and memorable doodle. With a category label in the bottom right corner, it is also easy to keep track of an individual's main Coping style (avoid, surrender, or overcompensate), whether needs are met or unmet, or their main schema domains, and it’s simple to tidy the cards away in a coherent order when done!

Professionally printed on 350gsm white card, these are robust enough to be used every day for years (trust me, I've tried!) without any significant wear and tear, yet compact enough to be shoved in a drawer when you don't need them. They are unobtrusive on a clinic table, but also easy for clients to get out and use to help develop a shared understanding of what is happening for them. Clients who own their own packs can also use them to increase awareness of what is happening for them day-to-day, and to support the completion of homework like the Circle of Awareness.

This set is the BIG Schema Therapy Pack, and is the complete offering, containing all five Schema Therapy Packs: Schemas, Modes, Add on Modes 1, Add on Modes 2, and the Core Childhood Needs cards. Containing 98 cards, it has everything you need to make sense of where the difficulties began, the messages this conveyed about the world, and the way they are managed today.
