Relationships are one of the most common arenas where early maladaptive schemas play out.

Schema therapy also helps individuals recognize and change their coping behaviors in relationships. Many people respond to schema triggers with one of three coping styles: surrender (going along with the schema, e.g., choosing partners who confirm one’s worthlessness), avoidance (steering clear of intimate relationships to avoid pain), or overcompensation (e.g., becoming controlling or aggressive to counter a sense of powerlessness). Through Schema Therapy, clients learn to recognize these coping responses as they happen and gradually develop the capacity to respond from their Healthy Adult mode — with emotional awareness, clear communication, and mutual respect.
