There are 3 main ways that people usually cope with schemas:
Surrender
You tend to accept the way you were treated and give in to the beliefs of the schema. By surrendering, you reinforce the schema as if it were true. You may find yourself often relying on others, avoiding conflict and being dependent on others.
Avoidance
You tend to avoid triggering the schema by avoiding people who mistreat you and disconnecting from your own emotions. This avoidance can lead you to becoming excessively self-reliant and may leave you more vulnerable to risky behaviours.
Overcompensation
You tend to fight a schema by acting in a complete opposite manner. Overcompensating will lead to actions that seem aggressive and excessive. Some examples include manipulating others to achieve your goals or focusing on perfectionism so that you will not be criticised.
