Summary
Limited reparenting is a cornerstone of schema therapy. It is a style of interacting with clients in which the therapist aims to give the client experiences of having their emotional needs met directly within the therapeutic relationship. The therapist here serves as a ‘healthy model’ or template of caring, self-control, and guidance that, over time, is internalised by the client into their own ‘Healthy Adult’ mode. The core ingredients of limited reparenting include offering care, guidance, empathic confrontation, and limit setting. The aim of this therapeutic relationship is to provide corrective experiences that ‘kick start’ the emotional development of the client. Based on a thorough assessment and conceptualisation, limited reparenting offers a specific roadmap to harnessing the power of the therapeutic alliance to promote schema change.
