Most psychotherapies begin with the assumption that you have a stable “self” that has developed maladaptive patterns. Integrative Genomic Schema Therapy (IGST) starts from a different premise: what you call “your personality” may be a survival scaffold built over a pruned authentic self.
A pure DNA‑Self schema is the adaptive, genetically specified core that would have become the dominant self‑concept in a safe, validating environment. Unlike Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS), which are maps of environmental threat, pure DNA‑Self schemas are maps of innate potential.
