Yes, my father passed when I was young, almost 20 years ago. I started therapy only last year as I became aware of the schemas (e.g. pursuing grand accomplishments to relieve/prevent feelings of emptiness reminiscent of his passing) that have been affecting my QoL. There may be other schemas I could be unaware of as well, but the pattern I see is that they revolve around my father’s passing.
Therapy has been great, however I’ve experienced greater effects through “self-therapy” using a combination of IFS, coherence and Focusing.
