Summary
As clients increasingly choose to access schema therapy remotely, it is essential for schema therapists to become digitally competent. Online settings provide multifarious opportunities for therapists to adapt ST techniques in innovative and creative ways. The active ingredients of limited reparenting, including emotional presence and attunement, can be adapted to online settings in order to maximise therapeutic connection through a range of strategies. In this chapter, a range of adaptations are described, which can be utilised across a wide range of technologies. In particular, we describe ways of adapting schema therapy techniques such as chairwork, historical roleplay and imagery rescripting to the online environment, especially videoconferencing settings. We encourage schema therapists to tap into their own creativity as they learn to adapt to online settings.
