we’re ALL wounded children walking around in adult bodies

{NAME}, Whenever you feel like being "dragged down" by negative emotions in your business, relationships, and life... you're NOT alone. Despite what most fake gurus want you to believe, we all struggle with emotional baggage and head trash. (including them... Especially them!) Whether it's Impostor Syndrome... Perfectionism... Anxiety and panic attacks... Emotional deprivation... Or social exclusion... ​ Everyone has their own baggage they have to deal with. ​ In my case, that's currently feeling overwhelmed by combining a newfound sense of fatherhood + pivoting my entire business model + certain "marital troubles" with my wife. And this last one is particularly hard on me (and us). Why? Because we both have to work extra hard to breathe new life into our new, post-child relationship. So in a way, I'm going through some of the most challenging times of my life... But at the same time, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do some SERIOUS self-development work... So that I could become a more well-rounded, healthier person overall... While also becoming the best parent possible for Helena (my 10-month-old daughter) 😊 Plus... If you've been on my list for some time, you know I'm a sucker for all things psychology and self-development in general! ​ Because of that, during the last year alone, I've done: ​ --Inner Child workshops --Ayahuasca ceremonies (trip reports [HERE]() and [HERE]()) --Bodywork sessions --Guided magic mushroom trips (reports [HERE]() and [HERE]()) --Couple's therapy --Brent Charleton's Correction's course --TONS of deep conversations with my wife (who's a therapist) --And plenty of books, podcasts, videos BUT... Despite all of these methods giving me profound insights... (especially the shroom trips! WOW, the last one was legit life-changing for the better... although difficult) Perhaps the biggest "AHA" moments came from studying something called: ​ "Schema Therapy" ​ So what's Schema Therapy? It's a new type of integrative psychotherapy -- created by psychologist Jeffrey Young -- that combines theory and techniques from previously existing therapies... Including things like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)... Psychoanalytic Object Relations Theory... Attachment Theory... Gestalt therapy... ...and more. In other words... It's kind of like the "complete package". Think of it as the unifying theory of psychological healing. And one of the core assumptions Schema Therapy makes is that: We’re ALL wounded children walking around in adult bodies. That's right. Due to negative childhood experiences, we ALL have various early maladaptive schemas... Which are self-defeating emotional and cognitive patterns established from childhood and repeated throughout life. And that last part -- "repeated throughout life" -- is especially important! Why? ​ Because -- whenever they emerge -- they almost always result in self-sabotage... ​ Whether that's attracting someone who's JUST LIKE your ex... (thereby repeating the same toxic relationships) Being paralyzed by impostor syndrome and perfectionistic tendencies... (thereby missing out on otherwise great opportunities) Repeatedly engaging in self-destructive addictive behavior... (whether that's drinking, drugs, chronic masturbation, sex addiction, etc.) Or just constantly getting in situations where you feel used and abused. (causing deep pain and sorrow) The important thing to understand is this: When left unchecked, these maladaptive schemas act as "life traps" that completely take control of your life. And they constantly cause you to shoot yourself in the foot. Not good. Unfortunately... Almost nobody talks about these schemas... And this is NOT something you can just easily "fix" on your own. ​ We're usually completely blind to them! ​ Fortunately... Schema Therapy is gaining some serious ground in the world of psychology nowadays... (with good reason) And a fantastic book I can recommend on this topic is ["Reinventing Your Life: The Breakthrough Program to End Negative Behavior and Feel Great Again](=)" by Jeffrey Joung. In this book, Dr. Young outlines the following 10 core schemas: (later models expand this to 18) === --Abandonment and instability --Mistrust and abuse --Emotional deprivation --Defectiveness and shame --Social isolation --Dependence --Failure --Entitlement --Subjugation --Unrelenting standards and hypercriticalness === Now... As you can see, {NAME}, there are a lot of different schemas... And properly explaining them would require me to make this email at least TWICE as long. So here's a question for 'ya: Would you like me to write a follow-up email where I briefly unpack each schema and how you can get rid of them... PLUS... how you can use these principles in your marketing to (ethically) convert more people? If yes, hit reply and let me know. If no, do nothing. I personally think this truly is a breakthrough model... But I don't want to keep yapping about it if you're not interested. So I'd like to ask you to vote... with a reply :) If I get enough responses, I'll dive deeper! Cheers & Happy Holidays, -Csaba ​ ALSO, Here are a few ways I can help you, whenever you're ready... 1.
