Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Hey everyone! It’s time for another installment of Character Therapy, or How to Use Psychotherapy to Create Realistic Characters!
In the overview video (go watch it if you haven’t!), I introduced everyone to what schemas are and how I outline character arcs using four things: Lie, Want, Truth, Wound. This time, we’re taking a deeper look into the Social Isolation/Alienation schema and how it can drive your characters’ decisions!

REMINDER: The Character Therapy Series is NOT for use with real people! Fictional people only, please. ^_^

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! I hope you're all doing well in this social distancing time we're experiencing, and if you're NOT doing well, please reach out to friends and family to connect over the phone or video chat! Mental health professionals are still taking new patients and still seeing people via video chats, so even in this time of isolation we can still connect for our mental health. Apart but not alone! ❤️
Maybe in America theres someone to talk to. But here where i live its not the same. People seem to have forgotten me and noone would even notice if i died. I want things to end. Who do i calll without being a nuisance
I grew up in a Doomsday cult and left when I was 18. I have this schema. And no matter how much therapy I have or self awareness I develop I cannot shake this core belief. I live alone. I have next to no friends and I fail at all of my relationships. I believe I truly do not belong anywhere. I feel like a burden to everyone and I so I have to run after a while to escape the overwhelming psychological pain of disconnection.
Radiohead understood me back in the 90’s with their song, Creep. The pain of isolation is unbearable but so is being around people and feeling like an alien. I feel so stuck.
Can you find other people who don't belong either, other misfits, then you can be together alone... or united in your alienation therefore not alienated. Artists are a bit like this.
I'm currently going through schema therapy and I think one of my strongest schemas is the isolation one. I'd like you to know that your video is super helpful and I loved it. Thanks for making it. Ps.: you're also an excellent communicator
I'm really enjoying this series! Thank you! Would you consider doing a series that showcases each of these schemas in book characters?
Woah…I’m the surrenderer in real life…thanks for explaining this archetype
Another great video!
Aaaaahhhhhhhh thanks Linda!! I'm so happy you're enjoying them!!
Excellent! More videos, please!
I absolutely love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and understanding of schemas!
Great Explanation! Thank you for sharing this.
Oh god, this really hits home. How can I get more information on this character? I need to tell my therapist about this.
Thank you very much for this!!!
According to astrology, a person can also be born with this schema. My astrology report indicates I have Chiron in 11th House, which basically means having this schema from birth. I do have growth mindset, so I'm not saying it can't be overcome or at least successfully dealt with.
My birthchart has chiron in 11th house too, and this is my main schema! I have periods in my life where I feel belonging, and then periods where I feel completely alone. I'm currently in isolation schema since Covid (4 years!) and it's reached a climax this year.
