The inner child in us unconsciously re-creates the childhood environment by projecting roles of significant others such as parents and siblings on current relationships. The unmet need of the wounded child wants to get met and re-creates the situation in the hopes of making that happen.

According to schema therapy, there are 5 emotional needs:

1. To feel safe
2. To have purpose, autonomy and identity
3. To act spontaneously and play
4. To have realist limits, helping us to apply self control

To start identifying your needs, try and slow down your mind and ask yourself "what do I need right now?"

People pleasing attempts to control the situation to avoid uncomfortable emotions.

We have a need we want to be met (we want to be liked, we want to feel needed, we don’t want conflict, we want to keep someone in our lives).

People pleasing others can be damaging to ourselves and, potentially, to our relationships when we allow other people’s wants to have more importance than our own needs.

Factors in the development of schemas include not having your core emotional needs met as a child.

Schema Therapy concludes that early maladaptive schemas develop from the interaction between core emotional needs not being met as a child and an individual's natural temperament.

Everyone will have had experiences that mean their core emotional needs were not met at some point in their childhood. Even the best parents will make mistakes or life circumstances may get in the way.

Part two: Remaining Schemas:

Entitlement: The sense that you are special or more important than others, and that you do not have to follow the rules like other people even though it might have negative effects on others. Also, can manifest in an exaggerated focus on superiority for the purpose of having power and control.

Insufficient Self Control: The sense that you cannot accomplish your goals, especially if the process contains boring, repetitive or frustrating aspects.

Subjugation: The belief that you must submit to the control of others or else punishment or rejection will be forthcoming.

Self- Sacrifice: The belief that you should voluntarily give up your own needs for the safe of others, usually to the point which is excessive.

Approval Seeking: The sense that approval, attention and recognition are far more important than genuine self-expression and being true to oneself.

Negativity: The pervasive belief that the negative aspects of life outweighs the positive, along with negative expectations of the future.

Emotional Inhibition: The belief that you must control your self-expression or others will reject or criticise you.

Unrelenting Standards: The belief that you always need to be your best, always striving for perfection or that you must avoid mistakes.

Punitivness: The belief that people should be harshly punished for their mistakes or shortcomings.
