About This Resource: The Schema & Mode Tracker is a shared worksheet for clients and clinicians in schema therapy at Stafford & Associates Counseling. It provides a place to record which validated assessments have been used (such as the YSQ, SMI, YRAI, or YPI), and to mark the core emotional needs, Early Maladaptive Schemas, and schema modes that resonate with the client. Revisited over the course of treatment, it helps track progress and keep client and clinician aligned on the patterns being worked on in therapy.
