Healing Childhood Wounds with Christine Askew
Welcome to my channel. I’m Christine Askew, a Masters-level therapist with degrees in Psychology, Forensic Psychology, and Counselling, and specialist training in Schema Therapy.
My mission is to make essential knowledge about schemas and the brain accessible to everyone — tools that are often hidden in research or therapy rooms, but are vital for healing.
Schemas are deep patterns formed in childhood that can trap us in cycles of people pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, or fear of abandonment. Here, I’ll explain how they develop, how they affect your life, and how neuroscience and practical tools can help you rewire them.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep doing this to myself?” — you’re in the right place. Subscribe for weekly videos and let’s make the path to healing clear, practical, and accessible.
