A Clinician’s Guide to Using Mindfulness, Values, and Schema Awareness to Rebuild Relationships
Summary
In this episode, cross-posted from the podcast Psychologists Off The Clock, Dr. Yael Schonbrun discusses common struggles in adult romantic relationships with Dr. Avigail Lev, co-author (with Matthew McKay) of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Couples: A Clinician’s Guide to Using Mindfulness, Values, and Schema Awareness to Rebuild Relationships (Context Press, 2017). Dr. Lev discusses how early childhood experiences contribute to the development of schemas that can negatively impact our approaches to relationships.

In this episode, you will hear ideas and strategies you can use to deepen your own relationships.
