Deliberate Practice and Schema Therapy- Identifying the Presence of the Dysfunctional Critic Mode

[@Polina-hn7hu]

i am afraid that trying to get a client to see the absurdity of it might back fire. Many kids grow up with no coregulation, therefore they have no memory of it, and being self punitive starts so early in life that it has no cognitive memories. Giving it a flavour of absurdity can reinforce the client's shame as this coping helped him to survive and might be the only thing the client had to fall back on.
