The Schema Therapy Test is an in-depth self-assessment that helps you identify which emotional locks — or schemas — currently have the strongest influence on your thoughts, feelings, relationships and ways of acting.
The assessment contains 66 statements and personal questions. The statements cover 18 emotional locks. The personal questions ask about things such as your life situation, your experiences and what you would like to change.
For each statement, consider how well it describes your experience in everyday life. Your first feeling or impression is usually enough.
From a schema therapy perspective, these are deeply rooted patterns learned early in life that can continue to guide us in adulthood. They can be recognized, understood and gradually changed.
The test covers 18 different emotional locks, known in schema therapy as early maladaptive schemas. Common examples include Unrelenting Standards, Self-Sacrifice, Subjugation, Abandonment, Emotional Deprivation, Social Isolation and Approval Seeking.
Your results show which patterns are strongest for you right now.
The test, your personal results, a preview of your personalized program and one Sento response are free.
You see which emotional locks are strongest for you and what kind of overall profile emerges from your answers.
You receive a personal review based on your answers. It highlights one connection or tension in your profile that appears especially relevant to you — something that may not be obvious from individual test scores alone.
The review also serves as a free preview of Beyond Emotional Locks. You see how the program approaches your emotional locks as a personal whole rather than as isolated schemas or test scores.
Sento is the AI guide included in the change program and trained for emotional lock work. After your review, you can choose a question that fits you or write your own question about something in your situation that you would like to understand better.
Sento takes the insight from your review one step further and helps you explore how it may appear in your own situation and what you could begin to notice or try. You receive one Sento response free.
All of this is free. The full change program is a separate paid continuation only if you decide you want to continue the work further.
