John's description of schemas:
Simply put... the coping skills that we developed as children to live within life's realities do not play well as an adult. I describe them as the voices that attempt to control our thinking. Often this control is fueled by a false sense of our identity.
As stated in the book, these controlling voices are lies. The assessment gives you an understanding or definition of these lies. The only work left is to no longer respond to them.
