Therapeutic Approach
In group settings, Salvatore Corbisiero creates a therapeutic space characterized by emotional openness, authenticity, safety, and active interpersonal engagement. Through a Schema Therapy approach participants are encouraged to explore maladaptive patterns, deepen emotional awareness, and develop new relational experiences within the group process.
Particular emphasis is placed on the therapeutic relationship, empathic attunement, experiential learning, and strengthening the Healthy Adult mode through connection, reflection, and emotional experience.
These principles and therapeutic attitudes form the foundation of the training programs he aims to convey to participants.
