CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

“I have been using the iModes for over a year now and I truly think that they are ingenious; every phase of therapy has benefitted from using the iModes. The cards simplify complex emotional states and make them more understandable for patients.”

Harold Dadomo, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (Italy)

“The iModes and Emotional Needs tools makes it easier and more natural for them to talk about their “inner child” and the emotional needs that they missed during childhood.”

Aldo Lombardo, Psychiatrist (Italy)

“My clients find the iModes enjoyable and easy to work with. The tools help them to view their modes from a safe distance and understand the reoccurring patterns in their lives.”

Minou van den Ouweland, Schema Therapist (Netherlands)

“The Healthy Adult tool brings a breath of fresh air into the therapy room. They add playfulness and creativity in the schema therapy work I do. I found them to be very beneficial in working with therapy groups.”

Erlend Aschehoug, Schema Therapist (Norway)

“The iModes are emotive to a degree that feels sincere and relatable for forensic client groups. I have noticed that some of the more vulnerable cards (e.g., Abandoned Child Mode) will sometimes trigger an emotional expression more easily than if we were simply conversing about events.”

Lucie Swaffield, Forensic Psychologist (Australia)

“One of the biggest features of the iModes are that they are so recognizable that they don’t require a lot of explanation to understand and interpret them. These tools are also very useful for training and coaching treatment teams and health care professionals.”

Irene Bos, Schema Therapist (Netherlands)

“Using the iModes tools has really facilitated my work with patients in various ways: explaining schema concepts, analyzing clinical cases and doing chair work. I use the iModes with patients, families, couples and therapists in training.”

Sandra Bon, Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (Switzerland)

“There is often an immediate and deeper impact compared to just talking about modes more abstractly. This opens up the way to a deeper empathic understanding of and connection to the child to more meaningful reparenting.”

David Edwards, President of ISST (South-Africa)

“I think that the iModes guide is fantastic, this book was really enlightening and inspiring. It gave me a lot of creative ideas on how to use the tools.”

Christof Loose, Schema Therapist (Germany)
