87. Are you an Over-Compensator?

Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast! When a schema is triggered, we typically have an urge to respond in 1 of 3 (unhelpful) ways.  In this episode Gemma talks about "over-compensation" as one of those coping style.  Over-compensation (also referred to a counter-attack) is one of 3 maladaptive coping styles discussed in schema therapy.  Gemma reviews examples of over-compensation behaviours associated with each of the 18 schemas (in the original schema model).
